National Business Aviation Association-Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) in Las Vegas this week is launching on a hopeful note with the annual Honeywell Global Business Aviation Outlook predicting strong and stable growth in the industry for the next five years.

The forecast also predicts demand for 8,500 new business aircraft worth $280 billion during that period, up a little from earlier forecasts and prompting some manufacturers to ramp up production.
