Private Jets
KewlJets delivers the latest aircraft photos and information on private jets, business jets, and corporate jets; from jet ownership to jet charter services and beyond. The KewlJets site is designed as a one-stop portal for the air travel market by providing information on the various aircraft, manufacturers, and services that are available in the private jet market.
The corporate jet market in aircraft sales has grown significantly since the early 1990s; from around $3.0 B in 1990 to over $12 B in 2001. Although the market had experienced a down turn from 2002 to 2004, perhaps due to the Internet bubble, it still had over $7.0 B in annual sales. The private jet charter industry enjoyed tremendous growth since 2000 in the wake of the 9-11 strategy. Aircraft sales have also benefited from new fractional jet ownership programs. Prepaid Jet Card programs have also fueled the private jet charter market.
Although some industry experts and leaders do not agree, others are predicting that in the next five years the market will experience a tremendous growth in sales. This growth will be due in a large part to the advent of the Very Light Jets (VLJ) aircraft.
Very Light Jets
The latest and perhaps the most significant development in terms of aircraft technology in the business jet and private jet industry is the advent of Very Light Jets as a new aircraft category. In the 1990s, NASA spurred the development of more cost effective jet aircraft that could be a vital element in reducing the strain on our major airports by providing access to the more than 5,000 under utilized local airports. In 2000, NASA and the FAA partnered to develop the Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS) to provide the air traffic and safety technologies necessary to increase public travel access to these 5,000 airports. KewlJets will provide the latest updates on the progress of these air travel projects and discuss its impact.
In September of 2006 the Citation Mustang and the Eclipse 500 were the first Very Light Jets to be certified by the FAA; which happened in September of 2006. These aircraft provide a much more affordable and cost effective corporate jet that not only provides unique aircraft sales opportunities but it also opens the door to a new business model in the air transportation market; the Air Taxi.
Air Taxis
There is a new business model on the horizon in the air travel that will provide travelers with the comfort of private jet travel combined with the convenience of an on-demand taxi service. Think of Air Taxis as checkered-cab of the Airline industry; which will service through some of the over 5,000 local, easy to access neighbor airports throughout the United States; which are severely under utilized.
There are two major Air Taxi companies that announced plans to start services, DayJet and Pogo, upon receiving delivery of the first VLJs that hit the market; namely the Eclipse 500 and Adam A700 . These services have monumental obstacles to overcome to make their business models profiting, however, they have very experienced business leaders and industry veterans who have devoted years to this pursuit. They are confident that they can deliver a unique air travel solution that is convenient, efficient, and cost effective. |
