Glimmers of Hope at JetNet Aviation Summit

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • Despite prolonged economic struggles, experts at the JetNet IQ Summit predict an imminent turnaround for business aviation, largely driven by improving conditions in the U.S. economy.
  • Analysts foresee a strong U.S. economic up-cycle within the next 12 months, leading to renewed prosperity, though current aircraft values are still declining due to a buyer-seller price gap and increased inventory.
  • Early recovery signs include rising demand for pre-owned light jets, and major aircraft manufacturers are confidently investing for future growth from 2014 onward, supported by economic data.

At the annual JetNet IQ Global Business Aviation Summit in New York yesterday, industry insiders and financial analysts acknowledged the painful impact the economic downturn has had on business aviation, but they said there are strong indications the market is finally turning a corner, thanks in large part to improving conditions in the United States.
