The Origins of Business Aviation, Part 2
🛫 The evolution of business aviation was related to significant technological advancements. With the 1950s' introduction of jets and turboprops the industry progressed, giving rise to the new types of aircraft.
🛫 Certainly as market demanded, specialized manufacturers emerged, placing the development of business jets at the forefront of their activities. Notable players in this field included Gulfstream, Dassault Falcon, Cessna, and Hawker.
🛫 In 1977, a pivotal moment occurred with the establishment of the European Business Aviation Association, solidifying the global recognition and collaboration within the industry.
🛫 The 1990s witnessed another pivotal phase of growth, particularly in the USA and Europe, driven by the increasing demand for long-distance travel. This period saw the inception of long-range business jets such as the Gulfstream V and Bombardier Global Express. Additionally, Boeing and Airbus adapted their aircraft to cater specifically to the needs of business aviation, further expanding the diverse fleet available in the market.
