NetJets Europe Launches Recyclable, Sustainably Sourced Catering Packaging as Part of its Ongoing Environmental Efforts

LONDON, June 3, 2010 - Europe's leading business jet operator, NetJets Europe, has rolled out a
new eco-friendly catering package and recycling initiative designed to
support the company's environmental efforts. The catering box is fashioned
from sustainably sourced bamboo and features wooden cutlery and porcelain
inserts - all of which are recyclable. Even the lids are biodegradable, and
the porcelain inserts will be re-used.

Each box will now take about half of the space of the previous catering
box and the package will be adapted to suit the storage requirements of the
small and mid-sized private jets (www.netjetseurope.com/)
in NetJets Europe's fleet. Recycling targets have been set and NetJets is
working with its crew, local FBOs, anchor caterers and cleaning companies to
ensure that equipment can be reutilised at the end of each flight to maximize
the impact of the new package.

"NetJets Europe takes its environmental responsibilities seriously, and
this new packaging is just one small way in which the catering department can
contribute," comments Ricardo Paiva, Catering Senior Manager at NetJets
Europe. "We're encouraging our crew to work with our ground staff to achieve
and exceed our recycling targets and minimize wastage."

NetJets Europe is aware of its status as a polluter and has a three
pronged initiative, called "Real Difference" aimed at addressing its
environmental impact; "Every Day Difference," is focussed on making NetJets
Europe's operational processes more sustainable, including the new catering
boxes, "All-inclusive offsets," makes UN-ratified carbon-offsets mandatory
for all new and renewing customers since 2007 and "Green horizons" sees the
company work with manufacturers and researchers to make improvements to the
future sustainability of the industry.
