AINsight: Forecasting Wx Easier Than the Aircraft Market
Forecasting the weather is more accurate than trying to predict the future of the preowned business aircraft market.

Remember when you woke up in the morning and before getting dressed you watched your local weather person forecasting the day’s weather? Watching for the temperature and any rain or snow. Then discounting the forecast slightly to choose your day’s attire. There can always be that slight variance between what is predicted and what really are the day’s conditions. 

Even with that slight variance, the weather person was more accurate than any of our prognostications about the preowned business aircraft industry. I watch every indicator that should be guiding the economics of our industry, such as recession fears, higher interest rates, higher fuel prices, and geopolitical unrest.
