April 13, 2015

JETNET LLC, the world leader in aviation market intelligence, completed its 17th JETNET iQ survey of business aircraft owners and operators in early April. JETNET iQ quarterly surveys reach every corner of the business aviation market, and provide unique and timely insights into customer preferences and opinions. Since 2011, the JETNET iQ Survey database has grown to incorporate more than 8,500 respondents from 125 countries, and is the most comprehensive collection of owner/operator perspectives available in the market.

In Q1 2015, JETNET iQ Survey respondents who were optimistic about the trajectory of business aviation's recovery outnumbered pessimists by a factor of three-to-one worldwide. Fully 60% of global respondents are now optimistic about the industry, the highest yet measured. Regionally, optimism is highest in North America, home to more than 60% of the business aircraft fleet.

In Q1 2015, 41% of North American respondents felt that sustained lower oil prices will encourage their organizations to increase their aircraft utilization, while only 4% predicted they will fly less.

These and other insights from JETNET iQ will be revealed and explored at the fifth annual JETNET iQ Global Business Aviation Summit in New York City on June 23-24, 2015. JETNET iQ Summits are fast-paced, data-rich gatherings of industry thought leaders.
