RENE CARDONA,
LINCOLN, NEBRASKA

Aviation expert Rene Cardona says that it’s not just individual businessmen and women who benefit from using private aircraft to get to high-level meetings, although they most certainly do, saving thousands of hours of travel time annually that would otherwise be lost in road travel and downtime waiting for commercial flights. Speaking from his office in Lincoln, Nebraska, Rene Cardona, who is part of the aircraft acquisitions and consignment team at the Duncan Aviation, points to evidence that the economy -- nationwide -- is impacted by what happens in his industry.

This evidence includes everything from international partnerships, says Rene Cardona, such as that with Jet Alliance International (wherein pre-owned Cessna aircraft will be refurbished with avionics and luxury cabins) to the $25 million expansion of the W.K. Kellogg Airport made necessary by increased air traffic caused in part from the aircraft maintenance company which Rene Cardona is part of, Duncan Aviation. According to Rene Cardona, the airport expansion creates both short-term jobs in construction and long-term jobs in staffing and also means that the facility will be able to attract even more business.

The job of representing clients who sell and buy aircraft from Rene Cardona and the Aircraft Sales Team at Duncan Aviation in Lincoln, Nebraska does certainly impact the bottom line too. This is a multi-million dollar business with motivated and serious buyers worldwide, says Rene Cardona from his Nebraska office, and many deals bring in tax revenues. While Rene Cardona admits that today’s market is quite aggressive in terms of buyer’s insistence on best prices, there are buyers and sellers no matter what fluctuations are seen in the changeable day-to-day economy.

With decreased production of new jets by aircraft manufacturers, aviation expert Rene Cardona says that the used airplane market will remain strong and more important than ever in terms of the American economy. Rene Cardona can be reached at Duncan Aviation in Lincoln, Nebraska.
