Social Flights As Economic Enabler
The Federal Aviation Administration is more than just a dour old government bureaucracy. The FAA also collects and publishes very important information.
This chart tells a very important story. It says that the economy depends on aviation as much (if not more) than aviation depends on the economy. So when Social Flights talks about private jets, it’s a whole lot more than wealthy people keeping their shoes on. Private aviation is in fact an important conduit for economic growth. The way that we organize aviation assets such as aircraft, operators, airports, and support services can have a profound impact on a region.
For all economic development professionals:
These statistics should be stark. If your community has air service, then the products and services that your community can trade will be 69 times higher in value than ground transportation such as trucking routes. Yet many economic development reports treat these two modes roughly equal.
Furthermore, the market is huge; 1/2 Trillion dollars worth of products are flying over your head and 1/4 Trillion dollars worth of direct expenditure is looking down at you through an impenetrable window – EVERY YEAR. And, that’s just the tangible value. Ideas, knowledge, wisdom, trust, influence, and experience are all extremely expensive to create on your own or by trial and error. Yet this value is readily stored and transported in the cabins of aircraft. This intangible value far out-weighs anything that can be carried in a truck.
What is truly surprising is that it only requires 2 million people to keep 2 trillion dollars worth of value aloft. As such, every job that an economic development office creates in aviation, can potentially return 500,000 – 1,000,000 dollars in value to a community. If a community is going to “buy jobs” with their taxes, they should buy aviation jobs.
Likewise, it would NOT be wise to lose control of this valuable resource to the whims of the airlines or outside corporate charter – their bottom line is not the same as yours.
Social Flights now brings a complete aviation solution to your community. Our CASP (Community Air Service Program) can provide a community with modern aircraft, operational knowledge, and certification authority to operate your own public charter airline. The connection is clear – airplanes equal money. Give us a call, let us design your community air service program to integrate with your hotels, restaurants, tourism board, artistic community, and industries.
After all, that is what community is all about.

The Data Will Set You Free
A quick stroll through the transportation department bureau of statistics is truly revealing. The airline industry is methodologically reducing capacity AND increasing profits. This does not make sense – how can any product sell less and make more?

What Google’s Flight Search Is Missing
One thing that you can always count on is that the advertisers will always have more information about you than you have about them. If the landscape shifts, it is in someone else’s best interest, not yours. Anything that gets cheaper goes in someone else’s pocket not yours.
