Flying Int'l at NJA?

[skyward80]

I've searched far and wide on this board and others, but I am having trouble understanding the relationship between NJA and int'l flying (other than Canada and Mexico) and NJI and the type of flying that division does.

Is most of the int'l flying outside of Canada and Mexico supposed to be handled by NJI? Does NJA ever do any int'l flying (once again, other than Canada and Mexico)? I've gotten the impression through my reading that there is a little bit of overlap, but I'm not sure this is the correct impression.

Thanks in advance!

NJI is the Gulfstream IV/SP, 450, and 550 aircraft and they go where ever the owners want to and they have the range/fuel stops to get to... At NJA the larger aircraft with longer range (not going to take an Encore to Europe) do go overseas but I don't know how much and how many owners want to. But I have heard a NJA Citation X on the NAT tracks while I was on an Air Force mission....

So, if I wanted to buy a NetJets share and I knew most of the flying I wanted to do was outside of the US, Canada, and Mexico, the sales person would likely sell me a share on a NJI jet.

On the other hand, if I spend most of my time in the US, Canada, and Mexico with the occasional jaunt to Europe or Asia, I would be a prime candidate for a NJA jet.

Is that correct? I realize there are probably a lot of smaller details I've left out. I just wanted to get a grip on the "big picture" relationship between NJA and NJI.

Thanks again!

It all depends on your typical trip, amount of people, and dollars available. The company offers guaranteed upgrades on airplanes so saying that they would try and sell you a share on a G-something isn't entirely accurate.

If you fly for NJI or the BBJ, any continent in this planet is fair game. God only knows where you'll end up, talked to G550 crew last week, they were doing Portland-Osaka.

At NJA

Falcon 2000/EZ, G-200- you'll go to Europe once in a while, do some South America and lots of Caribbean.

X, Sovereing- Lots of Caribean, some South America, and Hawaii/Alaska

Hawker 800-Caribbean, Canada, Mexico, Central America

From the owner's perspective I don't think you would see much difference between NJI and NJA. The uniforms are the only thing I can think of. I have flown a lot of GIV owners in the Hawker. All they needed was something small for husband and wife to go on a vacation in the Bahamas or didn't need the GIV to do a business day trip.

Pretty much all our aircraft can do and will do the Caribbean. One of the biggest advantages NetJets has over everyone else is the ability to easily upgrade or downgrade into such a huge variety of aircraft in order to do whatever fits your mission best.

It doesn't matter

It all depends on what the owner (passenger) wants.

If they REALLY like their Ultra, and want to do a trip around the world in the Ultra, we can do it.

If an owner REALLY likes their GV, they can take it from HPN to TEB.

Don't make it more difficult that it needs to be. It is what ever the owner wants.

The X does a lot of HI and a fair amount to Europe. I would say on average at least a trip a day to or from Europe.

Ok. I'll bite.
