Wow... double wow... what a week!
There was a perceptible air of positive thought at this year's
event... and sense that survival was simply a mater of doing
business the best way possible until the economic world got its act
together and recognized that true recovery was possible without
BizAv at its side. NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen said the highly
successful show reflects its continuing value, even as the industry
continues to confront a turbulent marketplace. "It has been a
pretty challenging couple of years for business aviation," Bolen
said. "By almost any measure, our industry fell 25 to 40 percent
over the past year. But even in this climate, the people and
companies in business aviation continue to seek out effective
venues for conducting business, sharing information and networking,
which is why NBAA's Convention remains a must-attend on the
industry's calendar."
As examples of the strength of NBAA2010, Bolen cited:
Participation by 1,083 Exhibitors, a number that tops the
Exhibitor count for the 2009 show.
A sold-out Static Display of Aircraft, with 93 aircraft at
DeKalb Peachtree Airport and a waiting list for participation.
Attendee registration at 24,206, up more than 5 percent for
attendance at the close of the 2009 Convention.
Here is a wrap-up of the primary Aero-TV programs produced in
the heat of the event itself... though we must note that there are
dozens more in production that will further delve into the amazing
week that was NBAA2010.
