Jet Advisors President Interviewed for CBS News Regarding Corporate Jet Downsizing

Kevin O’Leary gives his two cents about the effects of the recession on the private jet market

Broomfield, Colo. March 30, 2009 – Kevin O’Leary’s professional advice on current trends of the private jet market is featured in the article: “TARP Banks: Downsizing Their Jets.” Mr. O’Leary explains that private jet sales continue to suffer and have acquired a great deal of negative press. However, O’Leary projects a slight turnaround.

CBS News investigative producer Laura Strickler covered the story in which she describes the pressures of yet another corporation to downsize their private jets in response to the economic recession. Many companies are scaling back despite low returns, in an effort to reverse negative public relations.

Strickler says, “Kevin O’Leary of the private aviation consulting firm Jet Advisors, says when he compares the first two months of 2009 to the first two months of 2008 he sees a 71% increase in inventory and sales are down by 56%. But he says that while jets were being sold at “fire sale” prices a few months ago, sometimes $10 million below market value, prices have recently gone up. He says he is seeing more corporate jets in the marketplace and he attributes it to pressure from the public and the Obama administration, ‘A private jet has a bad connotation right now.’”

Investment News Article

Jet Advisors President Featured in InvestmentNews Report

Kevin O’Leary talks status of aircraft market and a silver-lining


Broomfield, Colo. (PRWEB) February 11, 2009 – InvestmentNews correspondent Mark Bruno contacted Kevin O’Leary for a reliable overview of the current status of the aircraft market, especially after the negative press that corporations have been receiving. Although the numbers speak for themselves, O’Leary acknowledged a silver-lining in the industry’s slump.

O’Leary told InvestmentNews, in an article entitled, “Banks bail out of jets,” that the aircraft market has experienced a rapid decline in the past few months after its steady fall in months prior. In spite of this trend, O’Leary expressed that things are picking back up and the market will start to stabilize and then recover. This means that the current situation may be a great opportunity to buy. There are plenty of deals in the market and financing is becoming more readily available to potential customers. A purchase would be a great investment for when the market does turn around.

Bruno quotes O’Leary in the article multiple times: “There are so few buyers out there at the moment, yet the number of sellers is growing constantly,” and again explaining, “If you want to move something right now, you have to lower your asking price to a number where a buyer just can't say no."

O’Leary also mentioned the large numbers of corporate jets for sale, growing from four or five last year to well over 30, and for prices up to 40% less.

The article featuring Jet Advisors President Kevin O’Leary, “Banks bail out of jets,” was published February 15 in InvestmentNews, and is also available at http://www.investmentnews.com.
