Following record-breaking demand during the COVID-19 pandemic, the charter and fractional aircraft markets have experienced some turbulence in recent months. While there are signs indicating the segment’s resilience, cost and pricing considerations may be key factors for many operators going forward. “[Providers are] now getting pressure from people who are saying, ‘Don’t push my rates higher,'” notes Doug Gollan of Private Jet Card Comparisons. “Negotiating is coming back. And at the same time, providers’ costs are going up.”
In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with three leading industry analysts:
- Brian Foley, founder of Brian Foley Associates
- Doug Gollan, founder and editor in chief of Private Jet Card Comparisons
- Rolland Vincent, president of Rolland Vincent Associates
The NBAA Flight Plan podcast, which ran from 2009 to 2025, provided an overview of important developments affecting NBAA members, and the association’s work to advocate for their interest. The archive of past episodes will remain available for your enjoyment. Please note that no new episodes will be released.
