The Airavat Brief — This Week: Inside the NetJets Laredo Crash Our latest edition dives into the NTSB's preliminary findings on the June 16 NetJets Citation Latitude crash near Laredo, Texas — the fractional-ownership pioneer's first fatal accident in its history. We break down how a routine flight from Los Cabos to Austin turned into an emergency landing on a highway: an early in-flight vibration, a right-engine generator failure, and ultimately a dual engine flameout that forced the crew to glide toward Laredo's airport. One passenger was killed; the captain and three others were injured, with bystanders playing a critical role in the rescue. We unpack what the investigation has revealed so far — fuel-line and starter-generator damage, NetJets' response to the NTSB report, and what this could mean for business aviation safety standards going forward.
