Business Jets: Separating the Reality from the Hype is the topic of a new Aviation Today webinar scheduled on the heels of the he National Business Aviation Association. Set for October 27 at 11 am, the webinar focuses on how the economic meltdown impacted the industry and its prospects for recovery.

Now, with NBAA 2009, players in this field are asking: Is a turnaround in the making? Or are we facing many more months of a brutal downturn?

Sector experts will sort out winners from losers as well as discuss the opportunities out there and how to exploit them. They will provide the clear-eyed interpretive analysis that aviation decision-makers need to make the right choices.
Boyd Group President Michael Boyd will be joined by InterFlight Consulting, Aviation & Aerospace Business Solutions Chair Oscar S. Garcia and Aviation Today’s Daily Brief Editor in Chief Kathryn Creedy to discuss how the BRIC markets figure in to today’s market strategy as well as the dramatic changes occurring in the fractional industry.

They will illuminate such issues as what was learned at this year’s NBAA convention, how the improving economy will impact business jets, how the industry will recover from the political drubbing it took this year and whether PR campaigns have worked, which manufacturers are poised to gain the most market share with recovery and how they are coping with the volatile fuel situation. In addition, the three experts, moderated by Aviation Today Publisher John Persinos, will cover the coming changes in the regulatory arena as well as the troubled and stunted VLJ market.
