The market for business aviation is growing as soaring fuel prices force commercial airlines to scale back capacity, The New York Times' Joe Sharkey writes. He notes that business jet shipments rose 41% in the first quarter of this year. Domestic business travelers are willing to pay significantly more for private aviation, he writes. Jun 17, 2008
DayJet
DayJet has signed an agreement with the FAA to start implementing NextGen technologies throughout Florida, writes John Johnston in the Boca Raton News. Dr. Bruce Holmes, a former NASA chief strategist who now works for DayJet, said NextGen will replace ground-based radars with satellite technology for navigation. The transition will mean fewer large planes and more smaller jets, he said. Jun 17, 2008
DayJet
Very Light Jet air taxi operator DayJet Corp. last week signed a memorandum of understanding with the Federal Aviation Administration to collaborate on a project that would accelerate use of next generation air traffic control technologies. The agreement forms a partnership between DayJet, FAA, the Florida Department of Transportation Aviation Office and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University to phase in the technologies over the next five years. The partnership wants to develop procedures that could be used on a national scale to deploy NextGen. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters in March announced that Florida would serve as the national test bed for NextGen. DayJet's involvement will help expand use of the technologies to small community airports, the company said. DayJet's participation comes as the company has made a strategic decision to focus on operational efficiencies rather that rapid expansion to reach profitability for its start-up on-demand per-seat service.
