Building Safety -- Don't Hesitate: Communicate! 

 

Since our inception back in the early 1980's, N-Jet's focus has always centered on the safety of our employees and customers.  But our focus goes beyond the concerns of our aircraft and flight procedures.  What about the very building that houses our fellow employees, customers, and aircraft?   

  

When it comes to the safety of our facility, every employee is responsible.    

  

Safety is Everyone's Responsibility Image When you see anything unusual or potentially hazardous in the building, please don't hesitate: communicate!  Reporting any safety hazards or potential fire risks can save lives, and it only takes a few minutes through our safety management system. 

  

Here's how it works: 

  • Go to n-jet.com, select Employee Info and log in.
  • Select Hazard Report if you've observed a situation that poses a hazard to people or property.
  • If you observe something in the building that you just feel should be repaired and/or updated, select Continuous Opportunity to Improve and fill out the information.  Think of this as a suggestion box. 

Examples of Hazards include: 

  • Out-of-date fire extinguisher inspection tags
  • Inoperative or damaged exit signs or exit lights
  • Missing ceiling tiles (allows fire to spread into ceiling)
  • Obstructed sprinkler heads
  • Obstructed fire equipment
  • Items under stairwells
  • Improper use of drop cords and/or explosion-proof outlets
  • Open fuel cans or drums
  • Blocked/locked exits

Don't wait until it's too late.  Keep this information in a safe place and remember to report anything that looks unsafe or questionable.  

Private Jet Travelers Drawn to Experiential Travel

The image some people have of the way the super-rich travel is likely stepping from limousine to private jet, jetting from a five-star hotel in Paris to a five-star hotel in Beverly Hills. In their spare time, they shop for new Gucci loafers and a Cartier watch. They, of course, have to be ready for the eight-course gourmet dinner prepared in a private dining room by a Michelin starred master chef.

 

And while lavish hotels, large shopping binges and long dinners are indeed the norm for some exceptionally wealthy travelers, increasingly so are places like Iceland, Norway, South Africa, Brazil, Peru, Nepal, Alaska, Canada, New Zealand and Chile.

 

The draw? Experiential travel ranging from soft to extreme adventures.


Experiential Travel
Today, about 20% of private jet travelers take at least one experiential trip every year or so spending an average of $100,000. Based on a universe of some 200,000 Ultra-High-Net-Worth families (net worth = $30 million or more) this translates to as much as $4 billion per year spent cage diving with Great White sharks or whitewater rafting in Colorado.

The Adventure Travel Trade Association pegs the total market at about $90 billion with an average spent of about $3,000 per person and an audience of 30 million consumers, meaning that even though the very rich account for less than a half of one percent of total travelers, they generate nearly 5% of the revenue.

Did You Know? 

  

Did You Know IconBefore World War II, jet engines existed only as laboratory items for test. But at the end of the war, in 1945, it was clear that the future of aviation lay with jets. The new engines gave great power and thrust, but were compact in size. They also were simple in their overall layout.
