Aviation Partners is just the most recent adventure Joe Clark has undertaken in the aviation industry. In this issue of Executive & VIP Aviation International, he talks to us about fuel saving and performance improvement through winglet technology.

Also, Mark Baier, Chief Executive Officer of BJETS, tells us about the decision by Briley Group and Tata Group to launch BJETS; and we speak to Flying Group which was created as a fractional operation in 1991, but has since grown rapidly to operate a fleet of 20 owned and managed business jets. Further, we interview Jetpool of the US and Nakanihon Air Service of Japan about their plans and operations.

In terms of hardware, Cirrus Design, Dassault Aviation, Airbus, LISA Airplanes and Honeywell Aerospace all talk us through their technology. We also investigate what the advent of VLJs could mean for the use of airspace and whether TCAS could be on the radar for the VLJ fleet.

Our features include new electric tug technology to move small aircraft; the green debate; pilot and crew provisioning; and, finally, business aircraft values.
