UNDERSTANDING BUSINESS AVIATION
A common practice for many businesses requiring
complex transportation networks, business aviation
refers to the use of any type of general aviation
aircraft in a business capacity. Members of the
business aviation community come from a broad
range of companies, all of which rely on aircraft such
as turbine aircraft, single-pilot airplanes, and
helicopters. Companies in the business aviation
community are located throughout all regions of the
United States, and the overwhelming majority these
entities are small to midsized.
UNDERSTANDING BUSINESS AVIATION
Especially for businesses in areas with limited access
to traditional transportation networks, business
aviation provides a vital economic link to key
marketplaces. Furthermore, communities without
scheduled airline services can use business aviation as
a stepping-stone to the rest of the world. During
situations such as medical evacuation and fire and
rescue, business aviation represents a valuable source
of air transportation. In terms of safety, the National
Business Aviation Association has worked closely with
the federal government to adopt stringent security
measures.

 TYPES OF BUSINESS
AIRCRAFT
The types of business aircraft vary widely, ranging
from propeller-driven aircraft to jets to helicopters. The
fleet includes everything from piston aircraft not much
bigger than a car and capable of flying just a few
hundred miles before re-fueling, to jets that seat more
than a dozen people and are capable of making non-
stop international flights. However, the vast majority
of business aircraft seat six passengers in a cabin
roughly the size of a large SUV and fly an average
stage length of less than 1,000 miles. Depending on
their capability, these aircraft may fly at altitudes
below the airlines (below 20,000 feet) or above the
airlines (above 40,000 feet).

 BUSINESS AIRCRAFT USES

While companies that rely on business aviation

represent many different professions and locations,
they all have one thing in common: the need for fast,
flexible, safe, secure and cost-effective access to
destinations across the country and around the world.
In many instances, business aviation is the
appropriate transportation solution, opening the door
to global commerce for small-community and rural
populations by linking them directly to population
centers and manufacturing facilities. The benefits of
business aviation are clear
 BUSINESS AIRCRAFT USES

Business aviation allows for efficient, flexible, safe, secure and cost-effective
access to destinations across the country and around the world. Because
employees can meet, plan and work with each other aboard business
aircraft, productivity en route is greatly enhanced.
In many instances, business aviation is the best or only transportation
option available, opening the door to global commerce for small-community
and rural populations by linking them directly to population centers and
manufacturing facilities. Studies have also shown that business aviation
contributes greatly to local economies across the country.
Business aircraft allow employees to make a trip involving stops at several
locations, then return to headquarters the same day. Hundreds or thousands
of dollars can be saved on hotel rooms, rental cars, meals and other
expenses that would be needed to make the same trip over several days via
auto, train or airline transport
ADVANTAGES OF BUSINESS AVIATION
1. Transport employees, Transport executives, Medical, Evacuation and Humanitarian aid,
Geodetics (GPS graphing),Cargo handling / Mail / Freight.
2.Business aviation can represent a highly efficient solution for some of the most
pressing travel needs for corporations of all sizes.
3.Defined as the business use of a general aviation airplane, business aviation equips
companies with powerful tools such as speed, productivity, and flexibility.
4.Business aviation gives companies access to plants and manufacturing facilities in
remote communities that have minimal airline service. Companies can also use business
aviation to reach many different destinations in an efficient manner, often to transport
important equipment.
5.In the same vein, business aviation enables companies to seize opportunities as soon
as they present themselves, giving them a considerable advantage over competitors.
6.Employees flying on a business aircraft can also work and hold meetings during the
flight, avoiding security threats such as industrial espionage and eavesdropping.
7.From a logistical standpoint, business aviation offers a highly predictable schedule with
minimal risk of delay or cancelation.
