There are four large operators in the fractional ownership industry, among them NetJets and Flexjet by Bombardier. The fractional ownership industry went through a period of fleet rationalisation during 2009, resulting in a substantial reduction of its order backlog. Since then, backlogs have resumed growing; in particular, NetJets placed significant volume orders for new business jets in 2010 and early 2011. The growth in the number of branded charter operators is a more recent trend. These operators offer on-demand flight with competitive trip-specific pricing. Branded charter operators are characterized by sophisticated operations infrastructure, and greater use of airline-style scheduling practices in order to minimize deadhead costs. In 2008, branded charter operator orders represented approximately 20% to 30% of total business jet orders. In 2009, the after- math of the economic downturn caused branded charter operators to resort to order deferrals and cancellations. Larger operators, such as VistaJet and Comlux , have returned to growth and have placed orders for addi- tional business jets in 2010 and early 2011. Fractional and branded charter operators
