Raleigh, North Carolina-based Jetcraft (static display) has brought five business jets to sell at NBAA 2014: two Bombardier Globals, two Dassault Falcons and a Bombardier Challenger, which are on display on the static display ramp at Orlando Executive Airport this week.

Jetcraft president Chad Anderson told AIN the aircraft are here as part of a concerted effort by National Aircraft Resale Association (NARA) members to help NBAA sell out its static display this year. Jetcraft is a member of NARA. The group strives to hold aircraft sales brokers to a higher operating standard, he explained. “NARA also has product-and-services affiliate members, and we are [displaying] them in combination with the aircraft,” said Anderson. “It’s the first time I know of that they have exhibited this way.”

Anderson will be representing NARA on a panel this afternoon in the Orange County Convention Center, Room S320E, where he will be joined by Brad Harris, Dallas Jet International; Ed Kammerer, Hinkley Allen; Louis Seno, JSSI/Embry-Riddle; Wayne Starling, PNC Aviation Finance; and Nick Cerretani, Cerretani Aviation Group. The discussion will cover current trends and recent changes affecting new and used aircraft sales.

“There are a lot more deals happening this year,” Anderson told AIN. “The North American market in particular has been a bright spot, which is why NBAA is so optimistic,” he continued. “We are well ahead of the pace of last year, and we are looking forward to networking with our clients at the show.”
