11 December 2006 - Christmas will start early this year thanks to NetJets. The families of more than 1200 NetJets clients will be reunited more quickly as a result of flying with NetJets. The promise of more time with loved-ones, means that although it may be the smallest parcel under the Christmas tree, the NetJets Private Jet Card boasts unrivalled desirability as the ultimate Christmas present for 2006.

The NetJets Private Jet Card is the perfect, affordable introduction to private air travel.  The jet card offers all the benefits of guaranteed availability, speed, privacy, and security at a minimal cost. Rumour has it that Santa Claus has even ditched his sleigh this year in favour of NetJets to ensure he meets his deadlines around the world. NetJets is refusing to comment on this on the basis of client confidentiality.

Card holders are entitled to 25 hours of flight time to jet off wherever they choose at only 24 hours notice, seven days a week, 365 days a year, without the stress of airport queues, delays, lost baggage or long transfers.  As commercial travel becomes increasingly onerous, its not surprising that more and more people are choosing to fly with NetJets.

Taking the hassle out of travelling reduces anxiety and saves time getting from A to B. This year NetJets will ensure the London banker who has to work in Italy on the morning of Christmas Eve can leave his meeting in Rome at 4pm and be home in plenty of time for dinner with his wife and children at 7pm. Likewise, the London executive who works on Christmas Eve starts the vacation with her family just half an hour after leaving the office when they fly from London City Airport to their chalet in St Moritz.

Mark Booth, Chairman and CEO of NetJets Europe explains, ‘Family time is everything at Christmas and people want to spend as much quality time together as possible. Giving someone a NetJets Private Jet card will guarantee they can be where they want, when they want, with the people they want. And thats priceless

Last year NetJets saw a 60% increase in the number of cards sold in the months leading up to Christmas and anticipates a strong increase in sales this year. Prices for the Private Jet Card start at £85,000 for 25 hours in a seven-seater Hawker 400XP, one of the worlds most popular light jets. For more information, please visit www.netjetseurope.com
