NetJets Opens Private Terminal at Las Vegas Airport

NetJets is quietly carving out its own corner of Harry Reid International Airport, and most Las Vegas travelers will never get to see it. The Berkshire Hathaway-owned private jet giant will open a more than 300,000-square-foot campus on the airfield to passengers on Monday (Oct. 26). Developed with aviation-hospitality partner Signature Aviation and featuring a terminal reserved exclusively for NetJets owners, it is the first new-build project jointly developed by the two companies. NetJets’ new Harry Reid International Airport terminal will feature enough room for 25 jets.

(One hangar is dedicated to NetJets fleet operations; the other is operated by Executive Jet Management, a NetJets subsidiary, and serves both NetJets and EJM aircraft.) A 24/7 maintenance shop and a private airside gate complete the compound, allowing customers to travel between their vehicles and aircraft without passing through commercial terminal areas. Sky Rollers The investment tracks with a surge in demand. According to a company news release, Las Vegas has become one of its most-requested destinations. Between 2022 and the end of 2025, NetJets says it recorded a nearly 45% increase in flight activity to the city, totaling almost 8,000 flights. That momentum has continued into 2026, with demand running almost 30% higher than the same period a year earlier. “We invest where our owners want to be, and we build experiences worthy of how they travel. Las Vegas’ position as a global destination for premier sporting events, world-class entertainment, and luxury hospitality drives significant surges in owner travel throughout the year,” said NetJets president Patrick Gallagher in a statement.

It also plans to open a new terminal and hangar at Rifle Garfield County Airport in Colorado by early 2027. In West Palm Beach, Florida, NetJets is moving to a larger exclusive-use terminal. The Dallas, Dulles and Palm Beach projects involve Signature Aviation; the Rifle facility is being developed with Vantage Aviation. Don’t Call It a Charter Rather than focusing on one-off charter flights, NetJets specializes in fractional ownership (although it has also offered jet cards and leases in the past). Customers buy a share of an aircraft or purchase access under a program with defined flight-hour entitlements and get access to a large, centrally managed fleet. In that fractional niche, NetJets is the heavyweight. WINGX data reported by SherpaReport show that NetJets accounted for more than two-thirds of U.S. fractional-flight activity in 2024, while Flexjet—which runs a competing fractional program with a sizable mixed fleet and nationwide coverage—captured roughly one-quarter. Other fractional providers include PlaneSense, which specializes in fractional ownership of Pilatus PC-12 turboprops and PC-24 light jets, and AirSprint, a major Canadian fractional operator. Both are substantially smaller than NetJets and Flexjet. Other prominent private-aviation brands—including VistaJet, XO, Wheels Up, Jet Linx, flyExclusive and Solairus—primarily offer combinations of charter, membership, jet-card and aircraft-management services rather than competing directly with NetJets’ large-scale fractional-ownership model.
