Private Aviation Is Staging a Recovery, Says NY Times Columnist

"Private aviation is beginning to climb back," reported New York Times and BJT contributor Joe Sharkey in his business travel column for Tuesday's Times. Sharkey (in photo) cited an increase in private jet flights and wrote that "in the commotion about abuse of corporate jets, it's easy to overlook the genuinely sensible argument for business aviation. As commercial air service shrinks, with even some midsize markets losing much of their air service, the business use of a company airplane can make bottom-line sense."
