NetJets Inc., the private aviation company owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc., announced on Wednesday it has opened its fifth private fixed-base operator facility at Atlanta’s DeKalb Peachtree Airport. The FBO facilities serve as terminals for private flights. The new 2,800 square-foot facility at PDK will offer customer and crew lounges, a conference and business center and flight planning areas. Net Jets signed a long-term lease with Atlantic Aviation to obtain the facility.

“We are pleased to provide our customers with this private-use facility that will deliver outstanding service and amenities at one of their most popular domestic destinations,” said Adam Johnson, NetJets Senior Vice President of Global Sales, Marketing, and Owner Services. “Atlantic Aviation shares NetJets’ dedication to safety and customer service and their exceptional infrastructure will allow NetJets to deliver unparalleled service to our customers flying in and out of the Atlanta area.”

The aviation company operates about 4,000 flights in Atlanta PDK each year and prides itself as holding the most diverse private jet fleet in the world, including the recently-introduced NetJets Series—customized aircraft that include advanced cockpit and cabin technology to ensure maximum flight safety. The Columbus-based company also operates FBO facilities at Port Columbus International Airport, Cincinnati Municipal Airport, Van Nuys Airport in California and Westchester County Airport in White Plains, N.Y. NetJets plans to open another FBO in West Palm Beach, Fla. in 2013.
