NetJets to make multi-billion dollar purchase

Columbus-based NetJets plans to purchase 425 new aircraft from Cessna and Bombardier for 9.6 billion dollars. C-E-O Jordan Hansell says the deals are part of NetJets' 10-year plan. The company has placed firm orders for 125 aircraft so far. Hansell says they will be faster and more fuel-efficient and have a longer range.
