NBAA Barometer: BizAv Is Booming

Attendance at the National Business Aviation Association annual convention this week in Orlando reached 31,919 attendees by midday yesterday, the second day of the show. This second-day sum is already more than 10 percent higher than the final three-day total for the 2005 show, also held in Orlando. The tally also surpasses the previous attendance record for the show, which was 31,665 in Las Vegas in 1998. The final 2006 attendance numbers will be announced after the show closes later today.
