NetJets to Use Jeppesen's International Trip Planning

NetJets will use Jeppesen's international trip planning service for the next four years, expanding a support agreement already in place since January 2000.

Jeppesen's international trip planning handles such things as ground servicing, landing and overflight permits, fuel arrangements, for its customers, as well as flight plans, weather and NOTAMs (notices to airmen), plus worldwide navigation chart services.

Jeppesen already has personnel stationed at NetJets' Columbus, Ohio, flight operations' center that have been handling trip planning for nearly all of the fractional-jet operator's international flights.

Under the new agreement, Jeppesen will expand its support team to include NetJets International's operation located near Hilton Head, South Carolina, to service NetJets' Gulfstream fleet located there.  In addition, the two companies will integrate their respective trip planning and scheduling systems to create a seamless, automated data exchange process.  12-09-2004.
