TAKING OFF THE SUMMER SEASON IS ONE OF OUR BUSIEST TIMES OF THE YEAR. School is out, the weather is warm, and holidays are on the rise. It’s a great time to recharge and rejuvenate. As we continue our partnership with Mayo Clinic, I found its experts’ insight on stress (check out page 36) to be relatively timely. It is usually at this point in the year when many of us start looking ahead at the next six months, adjusting goals or course-correcting to meet deadlines. Like the article shares, there are certainly ways to decrease the impact of stress on our lives — for many, the favourite way to relax and re-energise is through travel. And tennis champ Roger Federer agrees … We sat down with Roger for one of his first wide-ranging interviews (featured in pages 38-47) since he retired from the sport. He mentions his travels with NetJets allow him to save time and be more rested, ultimately sharing that his experience feels familiar, like an extended family. We wish the same for all our Owners. As autumn quickly approaches, we look forward to being your familiar, trusted partner for all the holidays and travel opportunities ahead. Only NetJets!
