NAFA member, Jason Zilberbrand, President and CTO of VREF, shares a look at their lineup of the top 10 most popular single-engine aircraft on the market.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTA) reports that 51.7 million U.S. domestic travelers took to the skies in May 2021. This is less than the over 70 million domestic travelers that flew in May 2019. However, major airlines like American Airlines continue to see higher than estimated amounts of travelers. And with the holidays right around the corner, there is no sign that commercial flights will slow down anytime soon.
All of this information is great news for airlines’ pocketbooks, but what about for travelers? If you’ve ever toyed with the idea of buying a private aircraft, there’s no time like the present to make a decision. Between surprise flight delays, last-minute cancellations, and an influx of people willing to fly, that doesn’t leave many benefits for individuals flying commercial.
Owning or partially owning a single-engine aircraft offers several advantages over traditional flights. You skip the lines, most of the wait times, and so much more. But it’s important to know what type of single-engine plane you should be on the lookout for. This is why we’ve compiled a list of the top 10 best single-engine planes you should consider.
