NetJets has launched a subsidiary with QS Security Services, a global network of partners that protects high profile travellers by leveraging decades of security expertise gained from federal, state and local law enforcement, as well as from the US military. This new service will give NetJets' owners access to international safety experts that are available 24/7 to provide varying levels of security services such as secure ground transportation, close protection and medically trained personnel.

QS Security Services will be initially offered as a premium service on select routes with a recommended minimum security package that corresponds to the current threat level of the owner's destination, according to the US Department of State.

The service will be led by vice president of global security Jack VanderStoep, an FBI veteran of over 20 years who has experience in counter terrorism and undercover operations.

”Safety has always been of the utmost importance to NetJets,” he says, “and I look forward to evolving our culture of safety. This new subsidiary will allow us to continue our legacy of providing the highest quality service paired with a superior level of safety to owners around the world.”
