LATEST ISSUE
SPRING 2014
This issue features a special report on paint, or how to make a business jet even more beautiful and unique (or bizarre!). When you consider the extreme temperature ranges an aircraft has to endure as it goes from a runway in the Middle East or the Equator to cruise altitude at L45, paint really has to be special to retain its colour and gloss.
We also have a tremendous user case study featuring James Manley, the CEO of Atlantic-Pacific and one of the first members in Kenny Dichter’s new Wheels Up membership-based private jet travel venture.
This plus exclusive interviews with Metrojet CEO Bjorn Nam, Honda Aircraft Company CEO Michimasa Fujino, IDAIR CEO Andrew Muirhead provide an exciting tour de force across the industry.
