ƒ Owner flown ( ≈ 900 aircraft ) • Owned and operated by individuals or companies

ƒ Fractional Ownership Programs ( ≈ 20 aircraft ) • e.g. Our Plane (Canada & U.S.)

ƒ Clubs ( ≈ 110 aircraft ) • e.g. Aviace (Switzerland)

ƒ Large Scale On-Demand Air Networks ( ≈ 1700 aircraft )

• Charter: e.g. Pogo (U.S)

• Per Seat: e.g. DayJet (U.S.)

• Mix Charter/Per Seat: e.g. LinearAir (U.S.)

ƒ Freight ( ≈ ? aircraft ) • Logistic Networks (e.g. Supply Chain Back Up Networks, Package delivery, etc)

Conclusion ƒ In the short and medium term, VLJ traffic is unlikely to differ from existing LJ traffic. ƒ Concentration of traffic implies: • Outside high density metro areas: Not an issue, capacity exists • Inside high density metro areas ƒ Some key airports will become even more congested ƒ Capacity crisis at key airports will occur even without VLJs

• Traffic redistribution mechanisms will take place ƒ Core airports ƒ Secondary airports; emergence of new secondary airports ƒ Core GA reliever airports; strengthening of existing and emergence of new reliever airports ƒ Surrounding GA airports; growth of business jet (and Very Light Jet) traffic

ƒ Strengthened role of small regional airports within key metropolitan areas ƒ Need to promote the development of airport systems on a region wide basis

Future Directions of Research ƒ Investigating the feasibility and the implications of the integration of air carrier and on-demand air networks
