Relevance
The NBAA has released its 2010 Business Aviation Fact Book, a
comprehensive profile of the industry that provides real-world
information and data about its value to citizens, companies and
communities across the country. "With this publication, we are
putting a resource in people's hands that presents the true face of
business aviation with simple but powerful facts," said NBAA
President and CEO Ed Bolen. "We are confident that this product
will help those in our industry underscore the essential role of
business aviation in the nation's economy and transportation
system."
NBAA's Business Aviation Fact Book notes on the first page that
business aviation contributes $150 billion to U.S. economic output
and generates over a million jobs. Presented in charts, tables and
brief descriptions, the data in the Fact Book is gathered from
respected sources including the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), the Department of Commerce and surveys of companies in the
industry.
Also included in this all-new edition are a number of NBAA
Member Company profiles describing the types of companies and
professionals that use business aircraft. The Business Aviation
Fact Book notes that most organizations using business aircraft are
small and mid-size companies, as well as universities, governments
and charitable organizations.
For the first time, the 2010 Fact Book features new section's
presenting the industry's record on safety, security and
environmental stewardship. The Fact Book also reports on the
thousands of air ambulance and mercy flights flown by business
aircraft each year, as well as the hundreds of relief missions
flown in response to natural disasters, such as this year's
devastating earthquake in Haiti.
With full-color layouts and links to information referenced in
the publication, the 2010 Business Aviation Fact Book makes a clear
and thorough presentation of the broad scope and value of the
business aviation industry.
