On this post we have several items of interest: The first story is from WingX Advance and it’s about how things are looking for our industry in 2015 according to their managing director. Next, and maybe this story should have been first, we have four more aircraft available for charter, 1 heavy jet (Dassault Falcon 2000EX EAsy), 1 mid jet (Hawker 800) and 2 lights (Cessna Citation I and II). Give us a call if you need to charter these or any other aircraft. Our phones are answered 24/7. Also we have a story from NBAA that explains that President Obama’s 2016 budget shows progress on the issue of per flight user fees which the organization has been fighting to exclude. And last, since our readers love to travel we have an excerpt of a story from the New York Times. The article picks the 52 places you must visit in 2015. It has some very striking images, 4 of which we have included here. We’ve put the top 10 in this post but we have added a link to see the full list. Let us know if there is anything you would like for us to cover in the future.
Our network has added four jets: Falcon 2000EX Easy, Hawker 800, Citation II and Citation I/SP.
NBAA (JetOptions is a member of NBAA) said that the exclusion of per-flight user fees for general aviation from President Obama’s fiscal year 2016 budget reflected progress on the issue, although a renewed call for lengthening business aircraft depreciation schedules presents a continuing challenge. “The Obama administration in previous budget documents has repeatedly recommended user fees, but the administration appears to have pivoted away from this position by choosing not to use the budget to once again propose the fees,” said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. “Clearly, this is progress on a key issue. The challenge is that, in his budget, the president still appears to be singling out general aviation, with a proposed change in aircraft depreciation schedules.”
