Business Aviation: A Critical Part of Success For Companies Across America

In light of recent publicity surrounding Congressional hearings about certain companies’ use of business aviation, NBAA has fielded inquiries from representatives with news organizations and other individuals about what business aviation is and how it is used in the U.S.

To clear up a number of misperceptions, NBAA has provided the questions most often asked of the Association, with responses that lay out the facts to explain how business aviation helps companies of all sizes remain nimble, competitive and successful, especially in a difficult economic climate.

Q: Aren’t business aircraft used mostly by major corporations?

A: No, the vast majority of companies using business aviation–85%–are small and mid-size businesses and other entities, including nonprofit organizations. For every Fortune 500 company that relies on business aviation, there are several small businesses that also need their airplane. Most companies use just one business airplane, which typically seats six passengers and flies relatively short stage lengths, mostly using small community airports.

It's A Fact: Business Aviation Is Essential To America

Aircraft Sales & Information www.genav.com

FACT:
Business aviation contributes $150 billion to U.S. economic output, and employs more than 1.2 million people. (GAMA)

FACT:
Few flights carry executives. 74% are time-critical trips by sales, technical and middle management employees. (NBAA, Louis Harris Study)

FACT:
Almost all airline flights go from only 70 major hubs.  Even worse, the airlines have abandoned nearly 100 mid-sized cities in just the last year. 

FACT: 
Business aviation reaches over 5,000 public-use airports in the U.S., providing communities large and small with fast, flexible, safe, secure and cost-effective access to destinations across the country and around the world. FACT:
America dominates business aviation manufacturing. Half the general aviation airplanes manufactured in the United States are exported, helping our balance of trade.

FACT:
Even the handful of manufacturers outside the U.S. “complete” their aircraft here in America, adding avionics, electronics, automation systems, engines, paint, interiors and other aircraft components manufactured here in the U.S.

New Arrival - 2006 Piaggio Avanti II

General Aviation Services is proud to bring to the market this meticulously maintained 2006 Piaggio Avanti II, S/N: 1122 with very low hours!!!

Call 1-847-726-5000 for more information. Click Here for More Information!!!

The P180 Avanti II is Piaggio Aero’s flagship product.  It is the world’s fastest turboprop business aircraft. It offers customers the speed of a light jet aircraft, the comfort of a large, quiet, midsize cabin, and fuel efficiencies that are nearly 40% higher than most business jets and 25% higher than the most efficient twin turboprops.

The P180 Avanti II is the culmination of an effort by Piaggio Aero engineers to design, without compromise, an aircraft to meet the objectives of jet-like speed, a wide-body, stand-up cabin, and turboprop efficiency. After an intensive aerodynamic analysis and thousands of hours of wind tunnel testing, Piaggio engineers concluded that these goals could not be achieved utilizing conventional aircraft configurations.
