Yes, there is a a UK AOC but as
Globally Challenged as explained, it's comparatively small and it's not just for UK based crews. (callsign Artisan). The UK AOC came about because of Brexit, leaving EASA and cabotage rules.
To join NetJets Europe,
you need an EASA licence. If you have a UK licence
as well, that's nice but not required. If NetJets wants you to get one, they should pay... (note should). Many of the former UK lic holders who had to SOLI out to either the Netherlands or Ireland, have quietly got their UK one back paying for it ourselves.
The UK based FOs who were hired within the last year had EASA licences.
