2 AVIATION VIEW VOLUME 1, ISSUE 4 Happy New Year! Welcome to Aviation View and a new year absolutely filled with possibilities and opportunities within our great industry. More than ever, airports and aviation businesses have become role models and an inspiration to everyone connecting with them for their aviation needs and personal travel for both business and tourism, exemplifying safety, versatility, determination and outright courage in their endeavors to get you from Point A to Point B. As the FAA has launched new initiatives across the United States to maximize safety and improve efficiency, airport staff and aviation companies have risen to the occasion once again, laying out unprecedented new development in the realignment and reconstruction of runways and taxiways, modernization of terminal and infrastructure improvements with the passengers’ interests in mind, and hangar after hangar being built to house new aviation-related businesses and privately-owned aircraft. The increase in travel has seen new records being set in fuel sales, particularly for General Aviation, as well as passenger enplanements in several markets across the country, with several airports climbing above even their 2019 numbers! For those looking to actively expand their corporate footprint this year, airports and their communities throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, Australia and New Zealand have plenty of parcels and ground lease opportunities on airport grounds and in nearby business, industrial and technology parks for build-to-suit construction, with several facilities and municipalities already providing utilities and a streamlined permitting process to make your dream a reality. If you happen to be flying off into a well-deserved retirement, or are looking for that ideal spot with the perfect balance of livability and opportunities for personal relocation, our airports’ community partners in their City’s and County’s Economic Development departments and Chambers of Commerce are experts in assisting you and your family in getting settled into your new environs. From Ketchikan, Alaska to Williamsburg, Virginia and beyond, the landing spot for your dream to flourish is waiting for you with open arms. Purchase your ticket, finalize your plans and pack your bags my friends, THIS is your year! Paul Payne Senior Director of Aviation & Research DI RECTOR ’ S NOTES WWW.
