I am starting a new job at my current employer (NetJets Europe). I will be working with a team responsible for analyzing aircraft performance and approving airports for use by our fleet. Can anyone suggest some good reading material about jet aircraft performance? Thanks!

When I was in the Air Force, we consulted Jane's for most of our unclassified performance data. Jane's has a whole bunch of different guides, so depending on what type of aircraft you are looking for, chances are Jane's has it in one of their books. And they are available at most libraries.
 
We have a performance instructor at the company that I work for, he teaches MD11, 717, MD80, MD90 and all models of the 737, what exactly do you need and I can ask him?
 
Thanks for the responses. I was looking for something more general about jet aircraft. I'm a private pilot and would like to read up on jet engines in particular and aircraft performance considerations in an IFR environment. I'm going to study up on the instrument rating even if I won't be taking the test soon because it'll help me at work (reading charts, etc.). Anything anyone knows that is jet specific but not airplane specific would help. Thanks again for the quick responses!
