Higher, Further, Faster... in a Private Jet? NetJets Soars Despite Economic Turbulence!

No Slowdown? Seriously?

Okay Earthlings Captain Marvel here. Seems like while *some* of us are busy saving the galaxy from Kree shenanigans and rogue AI others are more concerned about their summer travel plans. Patrick Gallagher the president of NetJets told CNBC that despite all the market volatility demand for private jets is still through the roof. I mean really? Does anyone remember when Thanos snapped his fingers? Priorities people! But hey if you have the credits... I mean dollars... who am I to judge? 'Higher further faster,' right? Even if it’s just to get to your summer home in the Hamptons.

Sun Belt Shenanigans

Apparently all the cool kids are ditching LA and heading to the Sun Belt. Gallagher mentioned a 'migration' to places like Palm Beach Scottsdale Austin and Nashville. So if you're looking for the next superhero hangout forget New York – it's all about those sunny locales. Maybe I should relocate Avengers HQ to Miami. Picture it: beachside battles mojitos after saving the world... I'm just saying Tony Stark would have approved.

Europe is Still Hot (and Not Just Because of Me)

Good news international jet setters! Europe is still a popular destination. Gallagher says Americans are hopping around between Nice and London like it's no big deal. 'One of the things people love about NetJets is I can own a share of an airplane here and maybe I fly over commercially but then I can use NetJets to hop around between Nice and London and wherever else I want to go while I'm there.' While Europeans are slowing down their travel to the U.S. I guess those pesky tariffs are finally catching up. Maybe I should fly over there and sort things out. World peace one transatlantic flight at a time.

Incognito Mode: Activated

Here's a fun fact: Apparently some wealthy folks are using NetJets to fly 'incognito' and avoid those pesky flight trackers. Gallagher points out that with NetJets you can remain anonymous. 'NetJets provides that that anonymity because all anybody is ever going to see is that familiar NetJets striping on the aircraft and they have no idea no way to track who's on board.' I mean I get it. Sometimes you just want to grab a shawarma without the paparazzi. Though if anyone tries to track *my* flight patterns they'll end up in another galaxy. Just sayin'.

Crudités and Charcuterie: The Superhero Diet?

Okay this is where things get weird. The most popular food order on private jets? Crudités and charcuterie boards. Seriously? I thought these people would be ordering caviar and gold plated sandwiches. But hey maybe they're just trying to stay healthy. Although personally I prefer a good Earth burger. Or maybe some Skrull delicacies – if you can find a friendly Skrull that is. Just watch out for Talos; he'll eat all the cheese.

Pilots with a 'Service Heart'

Gallagher says NetJets looks for pilots with a 'service heart.' I guess that's code for 'willing to put up with demanding billionaires and their pet parrots.' Seriously though good pilots are essential. After all you wouldn't want to end up with someone who thinks warp speed is a good idea. Remember that time I accidentally jumped to hyperspace and ended up in a dimension made of cheese? Yeah good times. Also there is a shortage of private jet hangers like mega yacht docks due to the rise of private jet fleets. They are also making strides to become more sustainable and offering carbon offset programs. They also flew 25,000 pets last year!
