Data, Information & Assistance Available Immediately
Specifically For Financial Clients
Part of The Boyd Group Advantage

Often, events in the aviation industry require immediate information and insight to make informed decisions. There's no time for formal reports. Expert insight is needed immediately, not days or weeks from now.

To meet this need, The Boyd Group has been providing consulting services for a range of clients in the financial industry via telephone session, giving up-to-the minute information on emerging trends in the airline, aircraft, OEM, and general aviation sectors.

The entire program is designed to provide access to the cutting-edge forecast and research capabilities of The Boyd Group. The firm has assisted airlines, aircraft manufacturers, OEMs, and financial clients over they years in getting a more accurate, more precise view of unfolding trends.

Geared specifically for financial institutions, hedge funds, and investment houses, The Boyd Group provides insight regarding events and trends in the aviation industry, including

• Emerging airline industry strategies
• Trends with airline bankruptcies
• Growth prospects for specific sectors, including regional airlines, major airlines, aircraft demand, and new-technologies
• Aircraft demand and fleet trends, domestic and global
• Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, Bombardier products and market strategies
• Airline labor issues - negotiations, strategies and issues
• Passenger traffic and demand trends
• Aviation growth sectors

Insight For Informed Decisions. Our focus is on trend and strategic information, and specifically is not investment advice. Our role is in assisting clients in understanding current and evolving trends in the aviation industry, including airline issues, fleet and aircraft demand, and corporate strategies. The Boyd Group's on-going internal research of aviation issues - including airline strategies, traffic trends, fleet demand, and forecasting - is unique in the industry, and always available for our on-call financial clients.

Our clients have found that the insights of The Boyd Group give them a more balanced and in-depth understanding of key aviation trends.

Benefits - Better Insight, Better Information, Better Data. The cutting-edge data developed by The Boyd Group has a proven track record of putting our clients ahead, with forecasts and trend analyses that are available nowhere else. The Boyd Group  is not part of the mainstream in aviation research and consulting. We work very hard to be well in front of it, and to keep our clients there, too.

Unlike other consultants, The Boyd Group is also a research firm, and maintains on-going independent analyses and monitoring of the key dynamics in aviation - airline strategies, fleet mix shifts, competitive issues, traffic and enplanements, and emerging aviation markets. This expertise is available on-call, immediately ready to assist our clients.

The Boyd Group has a proud reputation of providing clients with insights and analyses that look over the horizon, and are not a re-hash of what's available elsewhere. Our track record proves it beyond doubt. We are not in "the consensus" - and neither are our clients. We're ahead of it.

• Our clients were prepared over three years ago for the now-obvious downturn in the "regional airline" segment, at a time when ambient thinking indicated just the opposite.
  
  
• Our clients were ready - well before the mainstream - to address the turn around in the "legacy carrier" segment of the airline industry.
  
  
• Our clients are now preparing for the coming of the "composite age" of aircraft manufacturing, and the corollary effects it will have on the entire production and supplier chains.
  
  
• Our clients understand the real effects that very light jets (VLJs) will have on the transportation system, and it is nowhere near what "the consensus" is predicting.
  
  
• Our extensive independent research data provides our clients with the tools they need to stay ahead of the competition and assists them in making more informed decisions.

The Program. A typical call can be a quick question, or can take as long as the client sees fit. We're at your service, and ready when you call. Typically, a call is less than 35 minutes, and is structured to provide the client with the information and insight needed, quickly and clearly.

The call appointment and subject matter are established in advance, and we're ready to assist from the moment the call starts. Of course, there are areas and subject matter that we do not discuss, either because of client conflicts, or, in some cases, because we feel that other sources would be more advantageous to the client. All calls are strictly confidential in all respects.
