There is something ironic about Boeing’s Dreamliner: it needs an even bigger plane to haul it’s components around. Read about Boeing’s Dreamlifter here.

Boeing's Dreamlifter. It's big.

Can you imagine having to deice that baby?

Wow. The EPA is pushing a new rule that will make it harder for airlines to use ADF. Read more.

The simplicity of the JetSocks System seemed to catch most people we met at the RAA Convention a little off guard. It’s not often that a new product is introduced in this industry that is so fundamentally, well, simple. In discussions between convention days, Damon and I were actually thinking of ways to complicate things in order to stimulate longer Q & A sessions with potential customers. We were able to laugh with a few of you about this and were forced to explain that JetSocks really is this simple. More than once, a new contact finally shrugged his shoulders and enjoyed the fact that JetSocks may be the one product made for airplanes that is just plain easy. I assure you that simplicity is the end to which we work on your behalf every day. We want JetSocks to be the one aspect of your winter operations on which you can rely every morning.

At the conference, we also learned more about the way operators look at their day-to-day operations in winter months. During one conversation, somebody made a statement that stuck with me. When asked by a co-worker how much money he thought they wasted each year on de-icing, one man simply replied, “It depends on how bad a winter we have.” This is one of the most important things that the JetSocks System addresses: unpredictability. Allowing operators to reliably get more winter originators out on time provides them tremendous control over an aspect of daily operations that was unheard of until now. You know the impact a late originating flight has on the day’s schedule. Now envision a scenario in which you have more aircraft in position, fewer displaced passengers and crews, maximization of duty times, saved fuel, improved maintenance costs, and you are able to wave as you pass the competition languishing in line for the de-ice pad while your flight leaves as scheduled.

A quick note about the environment: environmental concerns grabbed more attention at the conference than we expected. The traveling public increasingly expects our industry do more to protect the areas in which we operate. In addition to the cost savings, JetSocks provides dramatic environmental benefits including radically reduced levels ADF and less fuel burned by both aircraft and GSE. Plus, JetSocks are made from a 100% recyclable material. You CAN be Green. We think you should brag about it.

If we missed you at the conference or if you have additional questions, send us an email or give us a call. We look forward to cultivating all of the relationships we started and we hope you will be in touch and allow us to help you save money. Take control of your winter operations. Do it with JetSocks.

USA Today is reporting that air travel this summer is expected to be down from last year, which was even down from the year before.

If only there was a way for airlines to cut costs and get more flights out on time? Oh wait, there is. It’s called JetSocks.

We’re putting the final touches on our booth, collateral, and sales pitches for the upcoming Regional Airline Association Convention starting on May 20th. Come on by to booth 202, say hello, and get your free prune juice.*

* yeah, I know free prune juice doesn’t make much sense, but neither does all the money you’re wasting on unplanned deicing. Come by our booth and we’ll show you how to lower your winter operating costs.

“U.S. airlines waste $9 billion a year on delays beyond their control,” according to this article. Along with JetSocks, Honeywell’s Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) is another way the airline industry can increase the number of on-time departures and save money on fuel because of delays.

Our Sales Ground Crew will be at the Regional Airlines Association in May. Booth #202. Come on by and say hello.
