Revenues at FlightSafety International increased last year, but declined at NetJets, according to Berkshire Hathaway, which owns both companies but does

In the fourth quarter last year, NetJets "experienced a significant reduction in revenue as general economic conditions worsened," Berkshire Hathaway reported. "This resulted in lower customer usage and demand, which negatively affected operating margins."
