NBAA President Ed Bolen From EBACE2006
The European Business
Aviation Conference and Expo, or EBACE, is now underway in Geneva,
Switzerland -- and Ed Bolen, president of the NBAA in the US, says
the conference already has all the earmarks of a
record-breaker.
EBACE is where business aviation takes the stage in Europe...
and already the conference has seen significant developments from
such manufacturers as Embraer, Boeing, and Eclipse.
Perhaps more importantly, EBACE gives members of the business
aviation community the chance to band together and discuss the
issues facing bizav in Europe... many of which, Bolen tells ANN
Senior Editor Pete Combs, aren't very different from issues faced
in the United States.
Of course, one of those issues is user fees -- a concept that is
a way of life for pilots in Europe, and that domestic airlines are
pressuring Congress and the FAA to make a reality in the US. Bolen
fills us in on the differences -- and similarities -- between what
(and how) Europeans pay to use for ATC services, from what is being
proposed in the States.
This feature is in addition to our daily news briefing --
available in either a quick "Touch And Go" format or an expanded
Aero-Briefing.

Our DAILY programs consist of (at least) three separate
products... the first is a short synopsis of the previous 24 hours
of Aero-News, in brief, spanning only a few minutes (max) and in a
size/format that will allow it to be mailed as part of a Daily
Aero-Cast subscription; a more comprehensive DAILY news product
that will cover the previous 24 hours of news in a somewhat more
detailed fashion, and a feature Aero-Cast that will center on one
of the more important subject or topics of the day in considerable
depth and detail. This is how these products break down...
- ANN's Daily 'Touch & Go' Aero-Cast: A
quick look at the most recent news of the day... short, succinct
and to the point. The usual 'Touch & Go' takes but a few
minutes and is a summary, only, of the day's events. It only takes
a few minutes of your time and will be available by subscription,
shortly.
- ANN's Daily Briefing Aero-Cast: The Daily ANN
Report (ANNRep for short), is a more comprehensive look at the
day's news. We'll give you the whole buzz... the news and features
that occupy the forefront of aviation news as well as solid
background on the subjects that aviators and other aviation
professionals need to stay informed on.
- ANN's Daily 'ASR' Feature Aero-Cast: ANN will
be offering a Daily 'Aero-News Special Report.' This involves a
more in-depth view of a story or two that dominated (or will be
dominating) the day's news. Far more detailed than any single story
in our standard ANN Daily Reports, this is a solid chance to get a
close look at the stories and topics that matter. ASR features may
include exclusive interviews with Aviation's Newsmakers, ANN's
Special Investigative reports and solid analysis of the stories
that will have undeniable impact on the world of aviation and
aerospace. We're tremendously excited about this particular product
in that it truly adds nuance and background to important breaking
news stories and personalities. While our current news format
allows for extensive reporting and information dissemination, ANN's
ASRs should set the bar even higher. ANN has become a pivotal force
in the world of aviation in the six years that have passed since we
undertook the immense task of becoming the aviation world's DAILY
news and information service... but with the all-new news services
we're offering as part of our Aero-Cast line-up, we expect to
become even more indispensable to the industry we serve.
Check them out, let us know what you think and be sure to keep
those news-tips and program suggestions coming... ANN is ALL about
what YOU want to know about in the world of aviation and
aerospace.
