JETNET delivers essential information tailored for the aviation professional or business that relies on thorough, up-to-the-minute aircraft data to remain competitive. Aircraft sales professionals, fixed base operators, financial institutions and other industry experts use the Company's data in support of aircraft transaction activities, for direct solicitation of relevant services to aircraft owners/operators, and to observe and assess the aircraft marketplace. In 2004 the renowned AvData Company was acquired by JETNET and launched as its own division within the JETNET organization. The immediate result was the infusion into JETNET of nearly four decades of additional aircraft information, archives and research expertise. AvData's lineage dates back to 1966 when John Zimmerman launched the Company in Wichita, KS, pioneering the concept of capture, analysis and dissemination of aircraft information and market intelligence. Data was compiled then using 200+ correspondents worldwide and AvData quickly became a highly regarded, well established, and trusted resource for the industry. AvData is known for its many aircraft fleet and market reports produced each year for the industry's elite. It is probably most recognized as publisher of the popular bright yellow handbook, the annual Jet & Propjet directory of business aircraft. In February 2005, the new AvData division under JETNET launched STARR (Statistical Analysis & Review Reports). STARR is a monthly release of some 30 reports detailing and archiving events and benchmarks in the business aircraft marketplace. "Joining with JETNET was a perfect for fit AvData," said Ken Green, AvData Systems Data Analyst. "These two great companies working together offer the industry unparalleled access to fleet and marketing information both past and present." JETNET invites all aviation professionals to visit the JETNET exhibit, booth #640 at EBACE 2008. Additionally, visitors are invited to join the JETNET staff at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday May, 21st for a champagne toast to celebrate the Company's 20th anniversary.
