NetJets begins consolidation of facilities and pilot groups

NetJets has begun an operational consolidation plan for two of its North American fractional aircraft subsidiaries–NetJets Aviation (NJA) and NetJets International (NJI). Columbus, Ohio-based NJA flies everything but the large-cabin Gulfstream fleet; NJI, based in Okatie, S.C., operates the fractional Gulfstream fleet, with the exception of the super-midsize G200.

“We will be relocating most of the NJI business functions from South Carolina and Georgia to our corporate and operational headquarters in Columbus,” NetJets chairman and CEO David Sokol told AIN. He expects this process to be completed by October. “The decision [to consolidate] was made after detailed analysis and careful deliberation and is the result of NetJets’ ongoing, long-term business planning process that began in the fall,” Sokol said.
