Live from NBAA Las Vegas, Dan Harris sits down with two of the most data-driven minds in private aviation: Doug Gollan of Private Jet Card Comparisons and Richard Koe of WINGX. Together, they bridge the gap between customer sentiment and actual flight data to explore what’s really happening in the charter, fractional, and jet card market.

This isn’t just a conversation about numbers — it’s a reality check on perceptions, pricing, and where demand is heading. From AI in aviation ops to the comeback of light jets, from Florida’s dominance to Texas’s breakout year — this episode is packed with insights that will challenge what you think you know about today’s jet landscape.

Whether you’re an operator, an owner, a broker, or a buyer — this episode is your market radar.

🧠 What You’ll Learn

• Why media headlines about flying demand don’t match the numbers

• The real impact of AI in aviation — and what’s still hype

• How jet card pricing is evolving (and why it feels like the Grand Bazaar)

• Where private flying is actually growing in the U.S. (Texas is booming)

• What matters most to jet card buyers in 2025 — and how to win them

• How WINGX is connecting corporate flight activity to stock performance

• Whether fractional is eating charter’s lunch — or just expanding the table
