Eric Byer, NATA “Altogether, we’re talking hundreds of thousands of jobs across this country. And many of the larger aviation businesses alone have payrolls of more than a million dollars, each.”
Katie Pribyl, GAMA “It’s a fact that direct impacts … trigger transactions and create jobs elsewhere in the economy, (with) … collective earnings that exceed $53 billion a year.”

A High-Skilled Workforce Helps Companies Boost Productivity in the Sky
Aircell delivers something many people take for granted - high-speed Internet and clear mobile voice communications - except that Aircell delivers those services thousands of feet in the air at speeds of hundreds of miles an hour to business aircraft of all types. "The challenge is to let people do everything they do on ground, in the air,"
says Tom Myers, Aircell director of marketing.
Aircell was founded in 1991 with the idea to deliver affordable communications in the air. Today, the company is meeting that challenge. It offers a menu of communications options from ultra-fast broadband Wi-Fi to voice systems capable of delivering crystal-clear phone calls. After selecting the right services for a company, Aircell dealers quickly install the necessary hardware, which typically includes a variety of equipment inside the aircraft, along with antennas on the outside.
"Companies invest in business aviation to achieve greater productivity, and Aircell is the catalyst that helps make that productivity possible," added Myers. "With our communications solutions, companies have the world in their hand and can continue working without compromise any time they travel." Currently, Aircell communications solutions are installed on over 5,000 aircraft, with plans for many additional services and options to come in the near future. Studies have shown that business aviation helps generate more than 1.2 million jobs in the United States. These jobs include not only those that directly employ company pilots, mechanics and service personnel, but also many more jobs at the 5,000 airports where business aircraft can land.
