Leading lights of the business aviation industry leaders are feeling optimistic ahead of the opening of this year's NBAA-BACE show in Las Vegas. 

"Overall flying activity is higher than it was pre-pandemic and “the secondhand inventory is at historical lows,” says Eric Trappier, Dassault Aviation chairman and CEO.

Michael Amalfitano, president and CEO of Embraer Executive Jets, estimates the number of new buyers coming to the marketplace is triple what it was before the pandemic.
