'Revolution' on for regional jets: orders for aircraft to fly shorter flights are up, up and away
Article Abstract:
The market for regional jet travel and production is expected to improve going into 2000. The use of smaller jets for shorter flights is projected to boost air travel and improve service. The Regional Airline Assn reports that airlines have ordered 581 regional jets through 2002 and have placed order options for an additional 800 jets. The association adds that regional air travel increased from 35 million passengers in 1988 to 71 million in 1998.

Use of private and time-share jets on the rise
Article Abstract:
More people, business executives and companies are establishing 'time- share' agreements to take advantage of private jet flights. The trend to purchase jet fleets and to adopt special time and cost programs has increased 25% in the 1990s. Although the private jet market has a good safety record, Federal Aviation Administration officials see a need for stricter regulation of aviation companies selling jet shares.
