Private Jet Travel Sees Strong Growth In New York

A story last week in The Wall Street Journal noted "private jets are taking off again."
Specifically, the piece reported, "Traffic at Greater New York's two main hubs for private-jet travel is surging in recent months."

According to The Wall Street Journal, "Takeoffs and landings at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey rose 17% in March compared with the same month last year. . .  Westchester County Airport in White Plains, N.Y., also reported brisker business. The airport uses fuel sales to track traffic trends. In March, fuel sales to corporate planes rose 9% compared with last March."
 
The piece continued, "Nationally, private-jet traffic was up 8.5% year-over-year in March, according to data provided by Aviation Research Group/U.S. "The pace of business is faster than the airlines move these days," said Jeff Lee, director of the Westchester Aviation Association. Mr. Lee referred to route cuts by commercial airlines that have left many small airports with few or no regular flights in and out.
 
Steve Brown, a senior vice president at the National Business Aviation Association who sits on a Teterboro advisory board, said the airport first started seeing traffic increase in September thanks to two big events: tennis's U.S. Open and Fashion Week.
 
In a final note that shows we probably won't run into many auto executives at commercial airline terminals, the Journal noted, "Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co. announced plans to sell their fleets-though Ford said in a filing last month that it has yet to do so."
