Flying across Europe and the Atlantic is fraught with logistical complexities. Planning flights, obtaining permissions, competing for available take-off and landing slots – a particular challenge in private aviation – and positioning an aircraft form the bare minimum of what’s needed to plan a flight. Additionally, aircraft maintenance, rostering, crew training and safety procedures all have to be managed. And at this point, you’re still on the ground.
To ensure your flying is as hassle-free as possible, we employ a team of 500 operations experts – the largest and most experienced team in European private aviation.
From our operations centre in Lisbon, they take care of every aspect of your flying, leaving you free to relax and focus on what you need to do at your destination.
Our teams plan the best route for your flight, assign a crew and plan their travel, organise catering and take care of any special requests you’ve made. Schedulers source and secure the take-off and landing slots, and position your aircraft. Meteorologists check that weather conditions meet our operational requirements. Safety experts ensure our industry-leading standards are upheld.
NetJets provides operational support unmatched anywhere in private aviation. Behind the frontline flight teams are engineers who ensure our fleet is perfectly maintained. A group devoted solely to long-range travel. A team dedicated to securing the majority of slots available at private terminals.

How to make a balloon fly

How does a hot-air balloon work (in theory)? In a word: buoyancy . Hot-air balloons float in the sky for pretty much the same reason that boats float on the sea. A boat floats because it's supported by the water beneath it: the weight of the boat (pulling downward) is exactly counterbalanced by the pressure of the water beneath it (pushing upward). A boat doesn't float perfectly on the water surface but sinks partly into the water according to how heavy it is. The bigger the boat, the bigger the area of water beneath it, the greater the force of the water pressure pushing upward on it, and the more weight it can carry. Here's another way to look at it: generally speaking, an object will float if it's less dense than water (in other words, lighter than an equal volume of water) and sink if it's more dense (heavier than an equal volume of water). Imagine a block of lead the size of your arm dropped into a bathtub filled with water. An "armful of lea...

What is the Difference Between a Jet & a Plane?

One of the most common types of airplanes in use today is the jet, which has largely replaced traditional aircraft powered by propellers. Although propeller planes are still used in some instances, jets dominate commercial and private air travel due to their greater speed, ability to fly at higher altitudes and mechanical reliability. General Airplane History While efforts toward powered flight date back to the earliest inventors, the first successful flight of a fixed-wing aircraft was performed famously by the Wright brothers in 1903. Their plane, known as the Wright Flyer I, was made of wood and used a gasoline engine to spin a pair of wooden propellers. Over the next several years, the Wright brothers continued to refine the design that would provide the basis for aircraft over the coming decades. World War I provided a major incentive for the design and construction of better airplanes. Planes were originally used purely for surveying the enemy's positions. This l...

About Renting a Plane

  http://www.zmetravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/private-jet.jpg Flying on a private plane used to be a luxury that was reserved solely for the rich and famous. But with the increased enrollment in private pilot programs, the advancements in air travel and increased availability of small planes, renting a private plane has become more common than ever. With the economy in a downward spiral and commercial flight access in a decline, chartering a private plane offers a way for people to travel for business and pleasure. Renting a plane affords customers the peace of mind that comes with the luxury of flexible travel in complete privacy.  Features Private jet rental packages come equipped with a flight crew including flight attendants and a number of pilots depending on the size of the aircraft. You can create a custom package of in-flight catering and beverage services, as well as other amenities like entertainment and phone service. Flight attendants...
