COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- NetJets, the worldwide leader in private aviation, today launched a new subsidiary with QS Security Services, a global network of security partners with superior expertise in personal protection.

NetJets was built on a foundation of unwavering commitment to safety and service, combining the latest in-flight technology and the highest safety standards in the industry. The company's latest addition to this, QS Security Services, will protect high-profile travelers by leveraging decades of unmatched security expertise gained from federal, state, and local law enforcement, as well the U.S. military. This new service will offer NetJets Owners access to an international network of safety experts that are available 24/7 to provide various levels of security services, such as secure ground transportation, close-protection agents, and medically trained personnel.
