Issue 10 – Thinkin’ About the Good Things to Come

COVID-19 has shown it is both tragic and pervasive as well as a disguised once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reinvent the future of our businesses and our industry. It would be wise to be mindful of what’s next, and be preparing our organizations to be distinct, successful, and impactful—in a word, relevant. For those more entrepreneurial in nature, it is time to reimagine and recreate our businesses in ways that respond to, and anticipate, the rapidly evolving operating environment.

Issue 3 – Both Sides, Now

While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc on air travel, prospective business aircraft buyers would be wise to view both sides of the market, and consider the benefits of an earlier-generation business aircraft.
