NETJETS US VOLUME 12 2020

TAKING OFF
THE PAST FEW MONTHS have rightly been a period of reflection, as we have all
been learning to adjust to our new normal.
Whether you are staying close to home, considering the ensuing changes
to your personal and professional lives, getting busy with new projects and
opportunities, or maybe rediscovering a long-loved secluded retreat, like you,
we have been using this time to take stock.
And though we are still very much in the throes of a continued and likely prolonged period
of uncertainty, at NetJets we remain ready to serve, and we have redoubled our efforts to
ensure your safety and security, which always come first.
In navigating this new course, NetJets, The Magazine will continue to provide you with
up-to-date articles that inform and engage, enlightening stories that provide context and
recommendations, and expansive features that we hope will inspire new journeys and experiences.
After all, what the pandemic has demonstrated more than anything else is that we must
revel in and celebrate life and all its many riches with those we love.

around the world.
