Since acquiring Aviation Data Services, Inc. (AvData) in 2004, JETNET has continued to research worldwide commercial airline fleet data. AvData had its beginnings in October 1966 in Wichita, Kansas, and was one of the early pioneers that started the capture, analysis and dissemination of aviation fleet information and intelligence through the use of a worldwide reporting system.

“We are very pleased to present our “Big Planes” service to the worldwide commercial aviation marketplace,” said Vincent Esposito, JETNET President. “That includes widebody (twin aisle), narrowbody (single aisle), freighter and regional (under 100 seat) jet airliners, along with commuter turboprops.”

Since 2004 the commercial airline fleet data has been maintained under an annual single-source contract services agreement. JETNET is now offering the airliner aircraft fleet data through its real-time internet-accessed Evolution program, combined with both business aircraft and helicopters. The total fleet is comprised of nearly 100,000 in-operation airframes, 35,000 of which are airliners.

New business unit Jetcraft Asia to best serve clients by blending industry expertise with regional market knowledge
 
RALEIGH, NC, Feb. 28, 2012 – Jetcraft Corporation, a provider of business aircraft sales, acquisitions, trading and brokerage services, today announced the opening of a new office in Hong Kong, China, under the Jetcraft Asia banner.

“We believe that this is the right time to establish a permanent presence in Asia,” says Chad Anderson, President, Jetcraft Corporation. “While we have been active in the region for years, we have done so without a formal presence. Based on the projected growth of the Asian – and particularly the Chinese – market, we are now directly serving the region. By blending our proven approach to business aircraft sales with a team of Hong Kong-based industry professionals, we believe that Jetcraft Asia will offer buyers and sellers superior market intelligence and an in-depth understanding of regional business and regulatory issues. Speaking for the entire Jetcraft team, we are very excited about this latest step in our company’s growth and evolution,” adds Mr. Anderson.
 
“From our new office in Hong Kong, we will be able to best represent client interests in Asia,” continues Jahid Fazal-Karim, Co-Owner and Board Member, Jetcraft Corporation. “Traditionally, the Asian market has favored new business aircraft. However, we predict a growing market for pre-owned aircraft, particularly in China, within the next five years. Locally-registered aircraft are likely to remain in China since transferring registration in-country is generally simpler than importing and registering aircraft. Given Jetcraft’s commitment to offer comprehensive services in multiple markets with consistent quality, establishing a permanent presence in Asia was the next logical step for us. Jetcraft Asia will leverage regional market knowledge and our proven approach to remarketing aircraft in order to tailor solutions for our clients globally, both within the region and from elsewhere – whether selling into or buying from Asia,” concludes Mr. Fazal-Karim.
