AINsight: Wealth and New Attitudes Toward Air Travel
The return of corporate clients, who have largely been sidelined by the pandemic, will help to rebalance the preowned business aircraft market.

I have spoken many times during the pandemic’s effect on air travel, both airlines and private aviation. But who would have thought in their wildest modeling that the demand for travel would shift as dramatically as it has? If you think of a fulcrum and the center balance was equal parts commercial air travel versus private air travel, the balance itself kept all providers capable of delivering a good product.

For airline travelers, flights generally left on time and arrived at their destinations safely. For the private traveler, providers could manage the load without panic and distress.
