LJE 2010 - Light Jets in Europe - flying light, business class

A vote was taken at VLJ-Europe 2009 to change the name of the event to Light Jets Europe. The feeling amongst the delegates was that the VLJ term is less in useage now and that some OEMs actively avoid reference to VLJs as the acronym has negative connotations. The event, henceforth, will be Light Jets Europe (LJE).

At the 2009 event we heard from start up operators JetBird and Ambeo and established operators London Executive Aviation, CFM, Hangar 8, Grossmann Jet Service and Blink about operating light jets in Europe. These have been tricky times for the operators and meeting operating targets on the Mustangs has been challenging. Nevertheless, there appears to be an appetite for the light jet category from private charter customers and LEA reported postive feedback from both customers and pilots flying the Cessna Mustang. Stefan Vilner from JetBird, which will be operating the Phenom 100, anticipates from their research the business flyer will convert to the light jet, not because "they are looking for luxury, but because of the efficiency and opportunity for doing business.....the elusive quality of time....that is the fundamental reason for using private aviation"

The 2010 event, Light Jets Europe, will provide further insights into how the market is unfolding, as the Embraer Phenom 100 will have been in operations for 12 months or so with various European based operators. Will the economy in Europe pick up sufficiently to establish the air taxi model and the point to point service and provide a serious threat to the scheduled carriers? Will operators be able to afford to position aircraft in sufficient numbers at a variety of bases around Europe to provide flexibility to customers and will customers convert to light jets with enough enthusiasm to sustain the business models of all the operators purchasing and maintaining light jets?

It will be the role of Light Jets Europe 2010 to examine how Light Jets are being deployed around Europe and to provide a platform for the operators (both air charter and air taxi) to provide their assessment of how the market is unfolding. You will also hear from Government, regulatory, legal, insurance, taxation, finance and funding agencies, entrepreneurs, industry associations and broking interests on how they view the market. Additionally, we'll hear from the OEMs themselves, the pilots, training institutions, airworthiness, efficiency and aircraft management specialists and those that supply and support the efficient deployment of Light Jets throughout Europe.

The 2010 event will be supported by an exhibition relevant to the Light Jet sector and a static display of aircraft.
