JETNET iQ Summit 2013

Posted on June 7, 2013 by Diane Levine-Wilson

I just got back from our 3rd annual JETNET iQ Summit. Having had a few hours to clear my head and reflect on the event, I want to share my thoughts with you.

Utmost to all who attended was how we see the future of our industry. The presentation by Rolland Vincent about JETNET iQ’s survey results addressed just that issue. Our iQ (intelligence quarterly if you were curious), is as close to the magic bullet that we are all seeking for our business planning. I can’t say enough about the standout results we get from our industry surveys. They are direct results of person-to-person contacts by our JETNET researchers in five different languages to operators all over the world.

The Venue: The summit was held at the “W” Hotel in midtown Manhattan, what a beautiful setting it was. Convenient too. Our evening reception in the Great room provided a comfortable gathering spot. We added the special touch of serving a signature cocktail called an “Aviator”. Don’t ask me what it contained, but any pilot hoping to fly within a few hours certainly should not drink it.

The main event took place the following day. We had a line up of guest speakers and moderators made up of the most successful and influential names in our industry. We also invited speakers from a broader range of interest to our attendees. Economist Brian Beaulieu, who is always a voice of truth and reason, and David Friedman, president of Wealth X showing us his unique approach to defining and finding high net worth individuals.

We then got into the nitty gritty of our aviation special interest sections. Financial Markets moderated by Michael Amalfitano, Banc of America, and panelists included Donald Synborski, RBS Citizens, Ford Von Weise, Citi Private Bank, Tom Taormina, PNC, David Labrozzi, GECC, and Mike Kahman, CIT.

OEM’s moderated by Bill Garvey, panelists included Paul Floreck, Dassault Falconjet, Brant Dahlfors, Bombardier, Bob Knebel, Embraer, Scott Neal, Gulfstream, and Rob Scholl, Cessna. And Business Aircraft Brokers and Operators, moderated by Wilson Leach. Panelists included John Grillo, Executive Fliteways, Marius Breitenbach, Execujet, Rene Banglesdorf, Charlie Bravo Aviation, and Bruce Peddle, Flexjet.

The questions and comments were robust, concerns about the industry’s recovery was front and center. And everyone availed themselves of the networking opportunities.

We wrapped up the day with a closing reception with dim sum and a jazz band.

JETNET To Exhibit at 2013 Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition Aviation Intelligence Firm Celebrating 25th Anniversary

Posted on March 22, 2013 by JETNET

UTICA, NY – JETNET LLC, the world leader in aviation market intelligence, will exhibit at ABACE 2013 in Shanghai, China and is celebrating 25 years of delivering professional aircraft research services. JETNET will present their full range of software products and services at the Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport at Shanghai Hawker Pacific Business Aviation Service Centre. This year’s ABACE runs April 16th-18th. JETNET will be in booth H214.

JETNET is the leading provider of professional, business, and commercial aviation research services, and has been providing state-of-the-art services since 1988. “We’re proud to be celebrating 25 years of serving the aviation industry,” said Vincent Esposito, JETNET President. “Every year we’re shining a brighter light on the aircraft market, giving industry professionals better ways to grow their businesses. That’s kept us growing for a quarter of a century.”

Among JETNET’s clientele are leading manufacturers, suppliers, and government and advocacy groups for business and commercial aviation worldwide. The company employs a full-time staff of more than 40 research specialists who contact industry professionals around the world each business day. They make real-time updates to the most comprehensive database of its kind. At the close of 2012, JETNET’s database held information on more than 18,000 business turboprops, 19,000 business jets, 28,000 helicopters, and 35,000 commercial aircraft, a stunning total of more than 100,000 aircraft.

“At JETNET it’s all about reliable information and market intelligence,” said Paul Cardarelli, JETNET Director of Sales and Marketing. “Our staff solicits original information from sources directly associated with aircraft. The data they gather is reviewed and confirmed for accuracy and completeness. It’s then added to the JETNET database for instantaneous access by our clientele, a network of aviation professionals around the globe.”

JETNET gathers comprehensive details on aircraft owners and operators, lessors and lessees, fractional owners, airframe, engine and cabin specifications, transaction histories on aircraft dating back 25 years, and comprehensive market details on aircraft for sale.

The company’s flagship product, Evolution Marketplace, combines the vast JETNET aircraft database with its comprehensive global listing of Aircraft For Sale. The software suite features an intuitive and customizable graphical user interface, so subscribers can view charts, tables and selective information, depending on their needs. Their alternative service, Evolution Aerodex, is tailored for FBOs, maintenance shops and other service providers who need timely information on turbine aircraft and their owners and operators worldwide. Aerodex provides the same fleet data and functionality as Evolution Marketplace, without the aircraft for sale component.

JETNET also offers aviation professionals a variety of ancillary services. JETNET’s CRM (Customer Relationship Management) service is designed exclusively for aviation professionals—specifically aircraft dealers and brokers, financiers, insurers, FBOs, airport managers and aviation product or service providers. JETNET CRM provides instant access to their entire worldwide database of aircraft, owners and operators, to which users can add and organize their own contact information for an exclusive combined database.

JETNET SPI (Sales Price Index) provides actual selling prices of aircraft, along with averages and statistical information on used retail sale prices of whole aircraft. Information is gathered directly from owners, operators, chief pilots, sellers and purchasers, including sale prices by aircraft category. Users can generate charts and graphs with statistical averages on make, model, year, days on market and more.

Aviation Business Index (ABI) (AviationBusinessIndex.com) is a worldwide portal for aviation information featuring hundreds of aircraft for sale listings from reputable brokers and dealers throughout the world. Visitors to ABI can also navigate through JETNET derived reports and listings for aviation products and services, market reports and lists, aircraft owners and operators, aircraft dealers and brokers, FBOs, aircraft financiers and insurance providers, and industry news and events.

JETNET iQ (Intelligence Quarterly) (JETNETiQ.com) is the firm’s members-only business aviation market forecasting and premium advisory service. Produced in partnership with the Rolland Vincent & Associates aviation consultancy of Dallas, TX, JETNET iQ performs insightful surveys of 500 business aircraft owners and operators every quarter. There are three components to JETNET iQ:

JETNET iQ REPORTS, definitive references with state-of-the-industry analyses, customer insights and detailed 10-year delivery and fleet forecasts.

JETNET iQ CONSULTING for customized research and analysis on a project-by-project basis.

JETNET iQ SUMMITS, networking opportunities to learn about emerging developments and interact with other industry thought leaders. The next JETNET iQ global Summit takes place on June 5, 2013 at the W Hotel in New York City. More information is available at JETNETiQ.com.
