Bombardier is obviously following the broader market situation very closely. So far, growth and need are so strong that we’ve had a record first half; the value proposition that business aviation brings has surpassed the economic drag.  
More and more business is being done–this is a worldwide fact. Private jets, charter and fractional ownership allow executives and business influencers to get to their destinations faster and allow them to expand their daily agendas. To put it quite simply, using business jets adds extra productive hours to their days. Time savings are essential to today’s business leaders, so flying from point to point and arriving at an airport that is closer to your final destination is very efficient.

Actually, the overall efficiency for business jets is very high and using them is becoming increasingly affordable. Also, the increase in new programs is making business jets more accessible.
