If 2012 was the year that wasn’t for general aviation sales, then 2013 is the year that could be. AVweb spoke with aviation industry analyst Richard Aboulafia of Teal Group. Aboulafia said that modest gains expected in 2012 never really materialized outside of heavy iron sales, but there may be reason to hope that shifting financial conditions might begin to lift the industry’s smaller players in 2013.
