Netjets expansion question

[jetwash]

I was up in Canada last week and some guys at the FBO were asking if Netjets was planning to expand into Canada in the future like they did in Europe and the Middle East?

Anyone at Netjets have any info?

I haven't heard anything about a separate Canadian division. Not to say it isn't being considered, but it certainly hasn't trickled down to the hired help.

I don't foresee this as a possibility. We already go in and out of Canada as required with our present operation.

I guess the only problem is point to point within Canada (YYZ to YUL) with Canadian citizens.

I haven't heard anything about Canada. I hope we get NetJets China up and running. With a population of 1.3 billion, and their economy growing at the rate it is, China is the next logical step.

The Canadian government would be more receptive to FLexJet (my opinion)

Funny you should say that, Flexjet already has a Canadian division for the reason mentioned above: transporting Canadian citizens within Canada. Right now I think it's only 3 or 4 aircraft, obviously crewed by Canadian pilots separate from the American Flexjet pilots.

That might be a problem, except that compared to CAN-US/US-CAN legs (or just straight US-US)....just how big a client pool would this be? My guess is that it is not worth the effort for NJ to pursue.

Probably much more business out there already just using their current certificates.

You would actually have to fly the airplane in order to worry about them sending you to TEB!

Do you mean one of the new SSBJ's? Because the SST has been dead for some time.

Yeah...that too!

Hi!

The NJA people said that they will be first in line to buy a viable supersonic biz jet.

That is the legendary story but at least for the Aerion SSBJ, they have customers who've already placed orders. Aerion opened the order book at Dubai Air Show in November, 2007. The price is stated as being $80,000,000.

I do hope NJA orders them but I think it will be only a very lucky few who ever make it to PIC on that plane.
