NetJets Advisory
Independent NetJets advisory for buyers and members
We advise NetJets buyers and members on the choice of a Share, Lease or Card, and on changes and renewals.
Choosing NetJets also means deciding how to fund years of flying and how much flexibility to retain. A proposal may offer the aircraft you want while committing more capital or fixed expense than your travel justifies. We help resolve that trade-off, including whether another NetJets program or provider would fit better. We are paid by the client, are not affiliated with NetJets and take no operator commissions or referral fees.
Purchase Advice
Ownership and leasing deserve a full-term comparison
A Share puts capital into an aircraft interest and may return capital when you leave. A Lease avoids the aircraft purchase and exposure to its value at exit, but still carries recurring payments over a contract term. A smaller initial payment does not, by itself, establish which option will cost less.
The same annual flying can lead to a different choice depending on how long you expect to need the program and what else that capital could be doing. We compare ownership and leasing over your expected holding period, accounting for the cost of capital, ongoing payments and the proceeds available under the Share's repurchase terms. Your tax advisor assesses the tax treatment.
Both arrangements carry management fees even in a quiet year. Regular use can justify those fixed costs; uncertain or declining travel changes the calculation. The purchase needs to reflect how long and how consistently you expect to use the program, as well as how much flying is expected next year.
Card Evaluation
Card access must fit the trips that matter
A Card can suit lighter flying without an aircraft purchase, but annual hours alone do not establish the fit. NetJets currently excludes new Card owners from Peak Period Day travel. If the trips that matter most fall on those dates, that restriction can outweigh an attractive price.
The selected Card also determines aircraft access and booking notice, and unused hours expire at the contract end. We compare the proposed Card with the trips you expect to take and the time available to use its hours. Share and Lease options may provide the required access, but they also carry their own peak-period notice and departure-time rules.
Aircraft Selection
The aircraft choice shapes routine travel costs
A larger aircraft may be essential for a particular route or passenger group, but selecting it as the primary aircraft brings that category's costs to routine travel as well. The right choice depends on how often that capability is needed and how much certainty you need for those trips.
Interchange allows travel on a different aircraft type, with changes to the hours charged. NetJets guarantees downgrades to smaller aircraft; upgrades depend on availability. We evaluate whether occasional exchanges are a practical complement to a smaller aircraft or whether to select the larger category from the outset. See the NetJets fleet guide for aircraft specifications by cabin category.
We advise on NetJets Share, Lease and Card choices, as well as existing programs. A confidential conversation starts with your questions and priorities.

Renewal should reflect how the program has performed
At renewal, you have a flight record, billing history and experience of the service. We review those against the assumptions behind the original purchase and your expected future travel. That gives the next decision a firmer basis than repeating the allocation or aircraft choice made years earlier.
A client can be satisfied with NetJets and still need a different Share size or aircraft. Our advice may support staying as you are, changing the size or category, moving to a Lease or Card, or considering another provider.
The current agreement affects what can change and when. Repurchase provisions, notice deadlines and transfer conditions can alter the cost or timing of a transition, so they form part of our advice before a new commitment is made. Legal review remains with your counsel.
