JETNET Celebrates Twenty Years of Aviation Research at EBACE 2008

UTICA, NY – JETNET will proudly showcase twenty years of success in the aviation industry and share their two decades of expertise at EBACE 2008, May 20th – 22nd, booth #640. EBACE 2008 will be held at the Geneva Palexpo Conference Center, in Geneva, Switzerland. Among the highlights will be JETNET’s Aviation Business Index (ABI) Service and JETNET for Helicopters.

Since 1988 JETNET has succeeded in delivering the very best and most comprehensive business aircraft research to its exclusive clientele of aviation professionals around the globe. JETNET is the ultimate source for information and intelligence on the worldwide business aircraft fleet and marketplace comprised of some 60,000 airframes. The Company offers services for both fixed wing and helicopter aircraft. Headquartered in its state-of-the-art facility in Utica, NY, JETNET offers comprehensive user-friendly aircraft data via real time internet access or scheduled updates.

JETNET’s Aviation Business Index (ABI) service debuted at EBACE just one year ago and has already become well established as a premium web site for end users to find quality aircraft for sale offered by reputable dealers/brokers worldwide. Accessible through www.aviationbusinessindex.com, ABI is a worldwide portal for aviation information, offering listings on hundreds of aircraft for sale around the globe plus details on some 60,000 aviation companies. Data is updated in real-time and includes information captured by the JETNET research staff on business aircraft, executive airliners, helicopters, and more. Through ABI, visitors can also reach out to aircraft owners and aviation organizations through the on-line and instantaneous purchase of traditional mail or email lists. Aircraft product and service providers can also advertise on ABI at extremely competitive rates.

“As we look back on two decades of what JETNET has become we are very proud of the successes we have had and the overall service we provide our clients,” said President of JETNET, Vincent Esposito. “Aviation professionals of all kinds, from all over the world rely on JETNET for up-to-the-minute aircraft information, and we are consistently able to provide that better and faster, and with greater reliability than anyone else. We will continue to grow and continue to be the premium vendor for what we do.”

“Our growth has been outstanding,” said Paul Cardarelli, Director of Sales and Marketing for JETNET. “Our services are used by virtually every major organization and institution in the industry and that is something we are truly proud of. Never once have we lost site of our primary mission, to support the professional aircraft resale community and to provide the aviation industry as a whole the most comprehensive and accurate data we can.”

In 2005 JETNET released JETNET for Helicopters, its initial foray into the rotary wing sector of business aviation. Since then JETNET has come to be regarded the premier provider of helicopter data and marketplace reporting.

“In the past, there was a lack of good data and market intel on helicopters, so most aircraft dealers and brokers opted to avoid this special marketplace,” said Tony Esposito, Vice President of JETNET. “But with JETNET for Helicopters, more sales professionals are opting to enter the rotary wing market in that they are better informed and thus have greater confidence to succeed there.”

JETNET’s helicopter database is the largest and most complete civil helicopter database available, encompassing piston and turbine-powered helicopters worldwide, covering nearly 30,000 rotary wing airframes (some 5,000 more than just one year ago). Helicopter data provided includes highly detailed owner/operator information, base location, interior/exterior photos, as well as comprehensive airframe and power plant specifications. This database contains the most complete and current listing of helicopters available for sale, trade or lease as well as transaction histories on individual airframes.

“When you look at how this Company has grown over the past twenty years, you get excited,” added David Cruger, Manager of Programming for JETNET. “Our Evolution interface is by far the most sophisticated and capable in the industry.”

JETNET delivers essential information tailored for the aviation professional or business that relies on thorough, up-to-the-minute aircraft data to remain competitive. Aircraft sales professionals, fixed base operators, financial institutions and other industry experts use the Company’s data in support of aircraft transaction activities, for direct solicitation of relevant services to aircraft owners/operators, and to observe and assess the aircraft marketplace.

In 2004 the renowned AvData Company was acquired by JETNET and launched as its own division within the JETNET organization. The immediate result was the infusion into JETNET of nearly four decades of additional aircraft information, archives and research expertise. AvData’s lineage dates back to 1966 when John Zimmerman launched the Company in Wichita, KS, pioneering the concept of capture, analysis and dissemination of aircraft information and market intelligence. Data was compiled then using 200+ correspondents worldwide and AvData quickly became a highly regarded, well established, and trusted resource for the industry.

AvData is known for its many aircraft fleet and market reports produced each year for the industry’s elite. It is probably most recognized as publisher of the popular bright yellow handbook, the annual Jet & Propjet directory of business aircraft. In February 2005, the new AvData division under JETNET launched STARR (Statistical Analysis & Review Reports). STARR is a monthly release of some 30 reports detailing and archiving events and benchmarks in the business aircraft marketplace.

“Joining with JETNET was a perfect for fit AvData,” said Ken Green, AvData Systems Data Analyst. “These two great companies working together offer the industry unparalleled access to fleet and marketing information both past and present.”

JETNET invites all aviation professionals to visit the JETNET exhibit, booth #640 at EBACE 2008. Additionally, visitors are invited to join the JETNET staff at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday May, 21st for a champagne toast to celebrate the Company’s 20th anniversary.
