JETNET Celebrates 30 Years, Debuts New Aircraft Valuation and Utilization Intelligence Features at NBAA-BACE 2018

Daphné Savard — Mon, 01 Oct 2018 13:06:02 +0000

UTICA, NY – JETNET LLC, the leading provider of corporate and commercial aviation intelligence, will demonstrate new products and features at this year’s National Business Aviation Association Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition(NBAA-BACE). Of particular note is a collaboration with aircraft valuation specialists Asset Insight, LLC, and enhanced flight activity and route analysis reporting capabilities added to JETNET’s popular Marketplace service. JETNET iQ will once again hold a pre-conference State of the Market Briefing. All this comes as JETNET celebrates three decades serving business aviation.

At NBAA-BACE 2019, JETNET will showcase new information derived by Asset Insight’s eValuessystem that will includemark-to-market and projected residual values for a wide range of aircraft researched by JETNET. eValueswill appear within the JETNET Values feature for aircraft sales price intelligence, an optional component to JETNET’s popular Marketplace interface for aircraft sales and finance professionals. “We’re excited to collaborate with the valuation professionals at Asset Insight to bring eValuesto our subscribers,” said Paul Cardarelli, JETNET Vice President of Sales. “We believe eValueswill fill a crucial void for so many of our customers who struggle daily to assess value for the assets they work with. This truly benchmarks a new era at JETNET for service to the aircraft resale community.”

Anthony Kioussis, President & CEO of Asset Insight LLC, explained, “eValues from Asset Insight utilizes the same methods, techniques, and processes an aircraft appraiser would use to electronically calculate Current Market Values and Estimated Residual Values, while taking into account real-time aircraft transaction data and aircraft-specific maintenance status information.” JETNET believes that Current Market Values and 60-month Estimated Residual Value figures produced by eValues, when combined with JETNET’s Reported Sold Prices and key historical market data, create a unique, single-source valuation platform. The eValuescapability will also allow users to update key aircraft data as required, and receive updated eValuesfigures.

JETNET will be showing their expanded Values database, with access to serial-number-specific reported sold prices along with the aircraft details known at the time of the transaction. “This addition brings much-needed clarity to the evaluation process,” said Michele Husnay, JETNET’s Director of Research. “The hallmark of our Sold Price data is our research staff. They reach out on a daily basis to gather information from our growing network of owners and aviation professionals who are committed to improving market understanding, one airplane at a time.” JETNET recently surpassed the 4,800^thdisplayable sold price benchmark, with data from 700 different sources, covering 315 different models. JETNET Valueshas collected close to 2,000 reportable Sold Prices for transactions over the past 12 months.

The business aviation data firm has improved Flight Activity and Route Analysisreporting capabilities for aviation professionals to compare and contrast utilization across airports, fleets, operators, and individual aircraft. Users can quickly explore date-specific data sets that target travel patterns by arrivals or departures, with search patterns that allow users to flag multiple criteria to understand opportunities and trends as they develop. “Our clients require powerful tools that reduce the time on task to sift through huge data sets to find and easily extract the key flight data and contact information to make that report actionable”, says Jason Lorraine, JETNET Advanced Technical Support & Sales.

Mike Foye, JETNET Director of Marketing, added, “By combining our extensive database of contacts related to each serial number with each aircraft’s historic flight activity, our single source solution gives companies multiple ways to solve research needs from the flight line to the boardroom.”

Karim Derbala, JETNET Managing Director of Global Sales, summarized the recent improvements. “We have worked closely with aviation professionals across industry sectors—and the world—to make the nuances, as well as the core aspects of historic flight activity and route analysis, come to life. The adoption by OEMs, airport executives, airport service providers, management companies, financial institutions, dealers and brokers, insurance providers, and FBO/Fuel providers confirms our approach is well founded.”

JETNET’s research is also keeping pace with important mandatory maintenance and airworthy requirements.
In addition to the key company and contact information of owners, operators, and chief pilots, the firm’s aircraft profiles are now populated with company and contact information of the Continued Airworthiness Management Organizations (CAMO). CAMO are responsible for the management of an aircraft’s maintenance tasks, and ensure that an aircraft complies with EASA airworthiness requirements. “Since Continued Airworthiness has become mandatory by the European Aviation Safety Agency(EASA) and many non-EASA countries have followed in EASA’s footsteps, we have noticed increased interest from our customers in the contact details of CAMO providers for specific aircraft,” added Derbala. By adding and updating CAMOs on aircraft wherever it applies worldwide, JETNET is providing customers with this critical information linking aircraft at the serial number level to each respective CAMO. Access to the CAMO relationships for each aircraft simplifies identifying EASA-compliant aircraft worldwide.

As they have for past NBAA-BACE conferences, JETNET iQwill be holding its annual State of the Market Briefing on Tuesday, October 16, in Room N220B, at 11:45am, hosted by Rolland Vincent, Creator/Director of JETNET iQ, and Paul Cardarelli, JETNET Vice President of Sales. Participants will be provided with details on current and evolving market conditions, the latest forecasts on fleet and new aircraft deliveries of business fixed wing turbines, and proprietary insights from JETNET iQ’s Global Business Aviation Surveys of business aircraft owner/operator opinions. The largest on-going research effort of its kind, JETNET iQ Reports include insights from more than 15,000 survey respondents in 130 countries worldwide.

In addition to its new offerings, JETNET is celebrating their 30^thyear serving the business aviation community. “My father founded this firm 30 years ago, and brought many ‘firsts’ to the marketplace,” said Tony Esposito, Executive Vice President of JETNET. “We have continued that legacy by continually meeting our clients’ needs, pushing the leading edge of intelligence gathering and information delivery, and advocating for the business aviation industry. We thank all of our past and current clients, partners, and staff for helping us proudly carry on that legacy.”

JETNET invites attendees of NBAA-BACE to see demonstrations of their new offerings, as well as their existing products and services, at booth #4449.

JETNET, celebrating its 30^thanniversary as the leading provider of aviationmarketinformation,delivers the most comprehensive and reliable business aircraft research to its exclusive clientele of aviation professionals worldwide.

TEAL GROUP: Russian Missiles/Sarmat Heavy ICBM.

Info Aero Quebec — Wed, 02 May 2018 02:48:29 +0000

04 April 2018

Author: Steven J. Zaloga,Drawn From: World Missiles & UAV Briefing

Russia has a broad range of strategic missile programs in an attempt to make up for the “lost decade” from 1992 to 2004 when there was a procurement holiday due to lack of funding. The Russian strategic missile force is becoming increasingly aged, especially the Topol ICBM missiles which probably had a shelf life of only 10 years when manufactured back in the 1980s. The Topol-M and Yars programs are aimed at replacing this force, while at the same time, the new Sarmat heavy ICBM program has been initiated to eventually replace the liquid-fuel 15A18/SS-18 force. In general, Russian defense programs have suffered a drop in funding over the past several years due to the declining defense budget, and there have been commensurate slow-downs in most of the programs.

The Russian navy’s SLBM force has suffered from a serious decline. The most modern SLBM, the R-39 (SS-N-20) has been retired due to age-induced deterioration of its solid fuel engines and loss of its manufacturing base in Ukraine. At the moment, a two phase effort is underway to manufacture the new Bulava missile for the new Borey class of SSBN, and to modernize the R-29R (SS-N18) on the Delfin class with the Layner. The Layner will probably be a re-build program rather than new construction, and so is not listed on the forecast below.

The air force’s strategic bomber force had its weapons programs brought to a close in 1992 by the Yeltsin government’s decision to end cruise missile production. This restriction may not have made much difference anyway in view of the lack of funding. The Kh-101/Kh-102 program has been revived and plans were underway to begin production in 2013. A new hypersonic ALCM is apparently in development, though details are too scant to determine whether it is a strategic nucleararmed missile, or an air-to-surface missile for conventional missions. As a result, no forecast is presented here.

The Russian defense industry is organized in a fundamentally different fashion than in the West with the design bureaus existing separate from the production plants. The forecasts here are listed in the traditional fashion by the design bureaus. Although Bulava is a joint MIT/Makeyev project, it is credited here to MIT which is the lead organization.

Sarmat ICBM (SS-X-30)

The development of a new generation heavy ICBM to replace the old 15A18M (SS-18 Satan) began with a design study codenamed “NIR Argumentatsiya” at NPO Mashinostroyenie in 2007 that studied the possibility of designing a weapon on the basis of existing submarine-launched ballistic missile. The study proposed the use of the liquid fuel engines from the R-29RMU2 (SS-N-23 Skiff) and the warhead package of the failed R-39UTTKh Bark (SSNX-28).

A Russian press interview with the commander of the RSVN Strategic Missile Force, Gen. N. Solovtsov indicated that work began in June 2009 on a liquid-fuel heavy ICBM to replace the older heavy ICBMs at NPO Mashinostroenie in Reutov cooperating with the Makeyev bureau in Miass. The guidance system was assigned to NPTsAP (Pilyugin center) in Moscow. The program began under OKR Sarmat (Sarmatian Experimental Design Study) and a preliminary design was approved in October 2012. According to Russian officials, the first pop-up test out of a test silo would be conducted by the end of 2015; reports in late 2015 put the first tests from Plesetsk in mid2016. The aim was to complete design by 2016-18, though other sources indicated initial production in the 2022 time frame.

In 2017, it was reported that the program had fallen behind schedule. The initial ejection test of the missile took place in December 2017 and as many as two more ejection tests were scheduled for 2018.

The launch complex for Sarmat is designated as 15P228, the missile as 15A28.

TEAL GROUP:Global Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Forecast.

Info Aero Quebec — Wed, 02 May 2018 02:46:10 +0000

25 April 2018

Author: Dr. David L. Rockwell Philip Finnegan Steven J. Zaloga,Drawn From: World Military Unmanned Aerial Systems Market Profile & Forecast

In terms of worldwide military budgets, the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) segment promises to be one of the most dynamic growth sectors, continuing the past decade’s rapid spending growth. The unclassified sector will continue to increase over the next decade, by about 36%, from current annual spending on RDT&E and procurement of about $9.6 billion in FY18 to about $13 billion in FY27. If operations and maintenance expenditures were to be added, these totals would be even greater.

This future military growth is being driven by the adoption of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) worldwide. Over the next decade, US procurement will grow modestly. Growth will increasingly shift towards international markets as more militaries adopt the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan and incorporate UAVs into their forces. The introduction of specially built unmanned combat air vehicles (UCAVs) also promises to drive growth over the next decade.

Now, for the second year Teal Group has separated all civil government and commercial UAVs into a separate study in recognition of the strong potential for the future as airspace begins to open worldwide. We have included a brief summary of those findings here. Please note that in our tables and charts “procurement” and “production value” are two different, but related numbers. Procurement, covered in the budget forecasts here, represents the annual amount of production funding included in a particular country’s annual defense budget, usually on a fiscal-year basis.

The most significant catalyst to this market has been the enormous growth of interest in UAVs by the US military, tied to operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the general trend towards information warfare and net-centric systems. UAVs are a key element in the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) portion of this revolution, and they are expanding into other missions as well with the advent of hunter-killer UAVs.

Our research suggests that the US will account for 57% of the unclassified R&D spending on UAV technology over the next decade, and about 32% of the unclassified procurement through the forecast decade. These US UAV funding shares for R&D and procurement represent smaller shares of the market compared to defense spending in general. The US accounts for about 64% of total worldwide R&D spending and 38% of procurement spending, according to Teal Group’s International Defense Briefing forecasts.

These percentages change significantly when adjustments are made for US classified UAV development and procurement funding. The value of these “black” programs can only be surmised, with our estimates serving as a likely upper end of the range of potential secret monies. With these assumptions, the US accounts for 76% of the world R&D on UAVs and 49% of the procurement.

This difference is due to the heavier US investment in cutting-edge technologies and the marked lagtime in such research and procurement elsewhere, especially major aerospace centers such as Europe. This follows trends in other cutting-edge technologies observed over the past decade by Teal Group analysts in such areas as precision-guided weapons, information and sensor technology, and military application of space systems.

A tangible example of the “black” UAV budget in the US is the RQ-170 Sentinel program which only came to light when one of the stealth drones came down in Iranian territory. If our funding forecasts for “black” classified programs are removed, the US share for RDT&E falls to 57% and for procurement to 32% of the world share, which is incongruous in view of the leading role played by the US in RDT&E and procurement in the UAV field, and the general trends in world defense spending mentioned earlier.

Teal Group expects that the sales of UAVs will follow recent patterns of high-tech arms procurement worldwide, with the Asia-Pacific area representing the second largest market, followed by Europe. Indeed, the Asia-Pacific region may represent an even larger segment of the market, but several significant players in the region, namely Japan and China are not especially transparent about their plans compared to Europe. As in the case of many cutting-edge aerospace products, Africa and Latin America are expected to be very modest markets for UAVs.

Some warnings are needed when viewing the forecast. There appear to be wide swings and dips in unit acquisition over the forecast decade, that is not matched by similar swings in the production value. This is primarily due to the volatile mini-UAV market, which represents very large numbers of air vehicles even though unit costs are extremely low compared to other UAVs, especially the endurance types. This forecast expects a drop in US mini-UAV acquisition as combat operations wind down in Iraq and Afghanistan, which has a significant effect on unit numbers, though not on dollar values. It is also important to note that we are not yet including forecasts for quadcopters, or very small and inexpensive micro-UAVs, since the numbers tend to grossly distort the unit forecast numbers.

JETNET Releases December 2017 and the Year 2017 Pre-Owned Business Jet, Business Turboprop, Helicopter, and Commercial Airliner Market Information.

Philippe Cauchi — Thu, 15 Feb 2018 05:49:37 +0000

PRESS RELEASE

Date: February 12, 2018

For Immediate Release

UTICA, NY – JETNET LLC, the leading provider of aviation market information, has released December 2017 and 2017 year-end results for the pre-owned business jet, business turboprop, helicopter, and commercial airliner markets.

Market Summary

JETNET summarized key worldwide trends across all pre-owned aircraft market sectors, comparing December 2017 to December 2016, as well as 2017 year-end, and comparisons to 2016.

Most market sectors are showing lower inventory for sale, with more full-sale transactions in 2017 compared to 2016.

The Fleet For Sale percentages for all market sectors, with the exception of Piston Helicopters, were lower in the December comparisons, with Business Jets and Commercial Turboprops down the most (1.1 and .7 percentage point, respectively).

Across all market sectors, JETNET is reporting 9,071 full retail sale transactions for 2017. In 2016, this number was 8,737, an increase of 334, or 3.8% more transactions. Business Jets were 2,668 transactions in 2017, and when combined with Commercial Airliners at 2,307 transactions, they accounted for 53% of the total of 9,071 transactions recorded in 2017.

All aircraft segments were taking more time to sell (34 days) in 2017 compared to 2016, except for business jets. Business Jets sold after an average of 310 days on the market, the same number of days as recorded in 2016.

“For Sale” Inventory

The “For Sale” inventory of business jets has decreased steadily from a high point in July 2009 (2,938) to 2,143 jets in December 2017. That’s a reduction in the percentage of the in-service fleet from 17.7% in July 2009 to 9.9% now. The percentage “For Sale” has dropped from 11.0% in January 2017 to 9.9% at the end of December 2017.

As the market has finally broken below the 10% threshold of inventory for sale, a period of transition is now in play, wherein the pendulum swings in favor for the buyer to the seller. Today the market of available aircraft continues to shrink, and still many models exhibit the soft pricing brought on by the diminishment of residual values that so completely dominated the post-recession years.

This is a positive sign, as the inventory “For Sale” has dropped, albeit slowly. Of course, we would hope that the reduced “For Sale” inventory continues to drop in 2018, which could lead to prices becoming firmer. Indeed, most aircraft business jet dealers and brokers today would tell you that the pristine used jets that were on the market a few years ago have become more challenging to locate. The sage advice for buyers is to act NOW. The council of “just wait a few months—the price will come down” may not present itself as we break into the seller’s market environment.

Market Trend Segment Analysis

Further analysis of 2017 shows mixed full sale transaction results. Of the six segments reported, three segments increased in numbers when comparing 2017 to 2016: business jets (7.1%), turbine helicopters (9.4%), and commercial airliners (13.9%). The remaining three segments, business turboprops, piston helicopters, and commercial turboprops, reported decreases in transactions, with commercial turboprops (-12.1%) showing the largest drop in 2017 vs. 2016.

Analysis of the 12-Month moving average for full retail transactions from December 2011 to December 2017 for business jets and turbine helicopters, reveals that from December 2011, used business jet transactions steadily increased until 2014, from 2,100 to 2,600 in October 2015. A leveling-off followed in 2015, and 2016 produced mixed activity (while remaining around the 2,600 line of transactions).

Since dropping to 2,491 transactions in December 2016, the used business jet market segment has shown a sharp recovery through December 2017 (2,668). This could be a result of built-up demand in the U.S. after the newly-elected administration found its footing, and the stock market continued to climb to record highs.

Since reaching a low point in January 2017, the used turbine helicopter market segment has shown a very rapid recovery leading into December 2017. This is great news, and could indicate better days ahead for the turbine helicopter market.

Pre-owned Business Jet Market By Weight Class

There were a total of 177—or 7.1%—more business jet transactions in 2017 compared to 2016. The Heavy weight class led with 146 (17.3%) more transactions, followed by the Light weight class, with 72—or 8.2%—in 2017 compared to 2016. Also, the Heavy weight class had the largest number of transactions in 2017: 992, or 37% of the total of 2,668.

Summary

The recovery in business aviation during the post-recession period has been underwhelming. Now that 2018 is here, we hope the U.S. pre-owned market, along with improvements in the world economy, will continue to push more new aircraft purchases. As for now, the pre-owned market is transitioning to a seller’s market environment, with Pre-Owned For Sale inventories running at 9.9%.

10-Year Market Forecasts – Covering the overall market as well as segments of the business such as construction, agriculture, communications, energy, aerial photography and insurance. It also covers the civil government market including homeland security and law enforcement.
Expert Analysis – A cogent outlook and rationale for what will be hot over the next decade.
Venture Capital – Analysis of the involvement of venture capital, firms attracting funds and ways investment is transforming the market.
Regulations – Differences in the ways regulations for civil/commercial UAS are being implemented worldwide and ways that is transforming the market and providing advantage.
Companies – An analysis of the strategies companies are using to position themselves in the market, including acquisitions, teaming and product development.

From the Civil UAS Market Study 2017:

Teal Group estimates that non-military UAS production will total $73.5 billion over the next decade. It soars from $2.8 billion worldwide in 2017 to $11.8 billion in 2026, a 15.5% compound annual growth rate in constant dollars.
The commercial segment of the worldwide market will lead growth in civil UAS. Worldwide commercial is projected to grow from $512 million in 2017 to $6.5 billion in 2026, a 28.9% compound annual growth rate.
Construction will lead the commercial market thanks to teaming between the three largest equipment companies and drone manufacturers and early UAS work by all 10 of the largest worldwide construction firms.
Agriculture, which will adopt UAS more slowly, will still rank second worldwide. The ability to provide unmanned spraying of crops and imagery that improves the application of fertilizers, pesticides and water offers tremendous potential.
Low-cost, high-altitude, long endurance UAS for internet promises to create an entirely new market segment. Airbus has already begun low rate production of solar-powered UAS.
Civil government UAS will be a much smaller segment than commercial, but the appeal is growing for border control and public safety.

JETNET Demonstrating New Intelligence Features at EBACE 2017.

Info Aero Quebec — Fri, 05 May 2017 00:20:09 +0000

PRESS RELEASE

Date: May 4, 2017

For Immediate Release

UTICA, NY – JETNET LLC, the world leader in aviation market intelligence, will demonstrate a series of new releases and features in their aircraft research service lineup at EBACE2017 at the Geneva Palexpo in Geneva, Switzerland. Highlights this year include: Aerodex Elite, a new product that combines owner/operator data with the FAA’s Traffic Flow Management System in near real time; a mobile implementation of JETNET Aerodex; a new, in-depth intelligence feature dubbed INTEL, including a new Utilization option; JETNET Values, with Reported Sold Prices Program, previewed last year and now is setting new standards for aircraft resale reporting; their YachtSpot product line; and JETNET’s admission into the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA). JETNET’s full suite of services will be available for review at the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition, May 22^nd-24^th, at booth # X129.

“This year, we’ve put our resources behind developing new services, while enhancing our existing products,” said Tony Esposito, JETNET Vice President. “Our clients have been amazed at the depth of intelligence and level of detail the new features give them. We’re keeping them two steps ahead of their competition.”

Aerodex Elite

Aerodex Elite is a new JETNET product that combines a strong owner/operator database with a new application to manage the FAA’s Traffic Flow Management System (TFMS) in near real time. The product includes live access to current and historical utilization reports at the aircraft serial number level, for customers and prospects on the ground and in the air. Subscribers can investigate and understand the activities of aircraft within the FAA airspace, and the airports and companies that charter, manage, operate, refuel, and service these assets. Clients also receive detailed current and historical analysis and summaries by individual aircraft, or fleets across operator(s), airport(s), and management companies, with fuel uplift details and more.

Aerodex Mobile

JETNET’s popular Aerodex service has now been implemented as a mobile platform and made available to subscribers of Aerodex Elite and standard Aerodex. This mobile platform version makes vital data available on a handheld device. The service is a version of Aerodex and Aerodex Elite tailored specifically for FBOs, MROs, and other service providers who need accurate and timely information on aircraft owners and operators worldwide. Clients now have access to the full capability through any mobile device.

JETNET INTEL

INTEL (Intelligence) is JETNET’s new shortcut tool, providing one-click access to comprehensive single-page summaries about utilization, and extensive portfolio data on each aircraft, company, operator, airport, and more. Available to all Evolution Marketplace and Aerodex Elite customers, INTEL maximizes search effectiveness, especially for LIVE subscribers. INTEL pulls together and presents data accurately, easily, and with customized exporting capabilities.

When a company details page is displayed, an additional INTEL menu will appear for companies that have additional intelligence to be displayed. When an aircraft details page is displayed, an additional INTEL menu may appear for aircraft that have additional intelligence to be displayed. A Utilization option on the INTEL menu will summarize utilization for an airport, aircraft, company, or operator. Intel is already allowing customers to see how Utilization views can better inform their understanding of aircraft workloads by individual airframe, or by fleet.

JETNET Values

Subscriptions to JETNET Values, announced just last year, have grown rapidly, with wide acceptance of the program across the aviation industry. A single-source solution designed by JETNET, Values provides reported sold prices, combined with data assessment tools that aviation professionals can use to make informed decisions relating to finance, insurance, valuation, appraisals, and more.

Values is offered as an optional add-on component to the JETNET Marketplace program, and includes a database of reported aircraft sales prices with tools to predict and summarize trends. New sales prices are voluntarily provided to JETNET daily by reputable sources from among its network of subscribers. JETNET reports that Values is now populated with more than 2,600 sales prices for more than 225 different aircraft models—most of which pertain to transactions having occurred within the last 18 months—from more than 275 independent sources. The firm has also built a host of tools in its Marketplace Manager customer relationship manager (CRM) for those users to maintain their own proprietary database of sales prices alongside those gathered by JETNET. They have also announced a new incentive program through which new subscribers to JETNET Values in 2017 will receive complimentary 12-month use of Marketplace Manager at no additional charge.

“Values was launched in response to what we detected as desperation of our customers to better understand the current and unprecedented trend in aircraft residual values,” said Paul Cardarelli, JETNET Vice President of Sales. “We know this is a sensitive area—that the resale markets generally hold such intelligence in a very guarded manner—and we respect that. But reliable information is what we are tasked to provide our customers, and we believe that ultimately it makes for a market that performs in optimal fashion. One year after the launch of Values, we are gratified to have received a high level of interest and cooperation for this initiative.”

YachtSpot

The YachtSpot database continues to penetrate the worldwide luxury fleet, expanding to nearly 7,000 vessels at or greater than 24 meters. Of increasing importance to both the yacht and aircraft industries, YachtSpot is the only database providing detailed information about those individuals and businesses with relationships to both on a worldwide basis. Within one platform, OEMs, dealers and brokers, and shipyards can examine the YachtSpot ranking of top performers in yacht and aircraft resale and charter. Rapidly becoming the most in-depth collection of fleet information by hundreds of metrics, YachtSpot brings clarity to the assets with key contacts about resale or charter opportunities, classification, flagged countries, amenities, pedigree, and more. YachtSpot is the only database designed to introduce professionals from aviation and yacht industries to each other, and to opportunities for collaboration in resale, charter, referrals, insurance, finance, and more.

EBAA Membership

In February JETNET was admitted as a member of the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA). They were also selected to participate as a member of EBAA’s Associate Member Council (AMAC), specifically, the subcommittee for Aircraft Sales and Acquisitions.

“We are delighted to join EBAA and to have the opportunity it affords us to shape the future of business aviation in Europe,” said Karim Derbala, JETNET Managing Director of Global Sales. “JETNET has long regarded Europe as a major player in our industry. Today the continent represents 10% of the fixed wing—and 22% of the rotary wing—global fleet, generating nearly E$20B in annual revenue, and employing some 164,000 people. Business aviation is a true economic powerhouse here, and EBAA is its true advocate.”

JETNET Reach

Among JETNET’s clientele are leading manufacturers, suppliers, and government and advocacy groups for business and commercial aviation worldwide. JETNET’s database of in-operation aircraft exceeds 100,000 airframes, which includes business jets, business turboprops, commercial airliners (both jets and turboprops), and helicopters (both turbine and piston).

“2017 marks JETNET’s sixteenth consecutive appearance at EBACE,” added Tony Esposito. “This has always been an excellent venue for us, one where we have learned much about the highly important European component of the global business aviation market. And while the last eight years have been a challenge for us all, today there is an undeniable optimism for the future. It’s evident in North America—and even more so throughout Europe—so we are delighted to return to Geneva with so many wonderful new tools to better serve this great industry.”
