NetJets revealed that after its flight volume initially dropped to as low as 10 per cent, the company was back to operating at 85 per cent volume, compared with 2019, by the end of the year. What’s perhaps even more significant is the surge of interest this industry has seen from new clientele. VistaJet reported an increase of 29 per cent in new members joining in 2020, with 18 per cent coming from Asia.
