DEMAND FOR BUSINESS AVIATION GROWS, SPURRING AIRCRAFT SALES

Encouraged by a healthy national economy, the business aviation industry is experiencing a slow, steady growth in flying hours and productivity that is spurring strong sales of used aircraft and aftermarket services, while new aircraft sales continue to improve slowly. This article examines this trend, looking specifically at fuel sales, maintenance activity, aircraft management companies, GAMA (General Aviation Manufacturers Association) sales figures, and product liability costs. The competition between conventional turboprop aircraft and light, entry-level jets is also discussed, as well as new Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements and proposed revisions of depreciation schedules for aircraft.
