PRIVATE JET business is growing so fast it could double by 2011 to more than 5,000 aircraft in the US, the National Business Aviation Association has said. Companies in the US, where an estimated 70% of the business is located, are reporting a sharp rise in demand since the terrorist alert last month in London. NetJets controls about half of the estimated $2.6bn private jet market, according to the National Air Transportation Association, while Delta AirElite, a subsidiary of Delta Airlines, reported a 70% increase in interest in the two weeks after the London terrorist scare.
