Private Aviation Hybrid
Rank 01
NetJets
Berkshire-backed fractional-plus-cards remains the trade-press availability default—PJCC hours leader and Forbes Travel Guide winner, not a brochure claim.

Why it is here
AIN (10 Mar 2026) ties Berkshire service-group revenue strength to NetJets fractional programs and flight hours. PJCC’s ARGUS TRAQPak Top 30 ranks NetJets #1 with 719,086 U.S. hours in 2025—its YoY gain alone would place ~8th industry-wide. Forbes Travel Guide’s inaugural Verified Air Travel Awards named NetJets best private jet company (via PJCC, 22 Oct 2024). BJT’s company profile documents Columbus HQ, Berkshire ownership, and fractional-plus-card product stack; Decision Points coverage frames fractionals as the anonymity path vs whole-aircraft optics.
Who it is for
UHNW and corporate flyers who want asset-backed North American (and Europe) guaranteed lift with institutional balance-sheet backing.
