Nothing, it seems, can ground private aviation. Despite the high costs for planes and fuel, the waiting lists for recent and yet-to-be-released planes are growing, and nearly every major general aviation company has put a new model on the market in the past year or so, or plans to. “Thirty years ago, there were more people getting into flying for the pleasure side of things,” says Scott Fank, VP of sales at Illinois-based JA Air Center, which sells private aircraft, as well as providing training and maintenance. “Nowadays, we’re seeing more people fed up with airlines and fed up with security. So they’re looking to private aviation.”
