JetNet Summit Sees Clearer Skies Ahead
Operators optimistic about the future, planning new aircraft purchases.

After five harsh years, the business aviation market is indeed showing signs worthy of optimism, according to responses from JetNet IQ’s most recent industry survey, released last month at the company’s fourth annual summit in New York City. Each quarter the company polls hundreds of business jet owners and operators to read the business climate they are facing, and in the latest round, 54 percent overall (and 59 percent of U.S. respondents) said they believe the industry has passed the low point in the trough, the highest percentage to show that level of optimism in the 13 quarterly surveys since the survey began back in 2011.
