Almost a century ago, Henry Ford launched his Model T as a car for the masses and subsequently produced 15 million automobiles over 19 years. Camilo Salomon, president and CEO of Safire Aircraft, does not fancy himself a Henry Ford, but he has high hopes that the company’s six-place Safire Jet will become the personal jet for masses of owner-flown operators.

In a recent interview, Salomon said studies indicate a potential market for 20,000 owner-flown personal jets over the next 15 years. Miami-based Safire is aiming to garner a substantial market share.
