In parallel, RVA announced the launch of its new thought leadership conference series, designed to convene industry titans for meaningful dialogue on the future of business aviation while reflecting on the industry's evolution, assessing current realities, and highlighting areas of strength while uncovering opportunities for continued growth.The inaugural RVA Summit '27 will take place February 15-16, 2027, at the historic Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C., aligning with the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) annual State of the Industry Press Conference. The venue carries a rich legacy in aviation history. In 1927, Charles Lindbergh was honored there with the Hubbard Medal by President Calvin Coolidge following his groundbreaking nonstop flight from New York to Paris, an achievement that captured global attention and redefined what was possible in long range aviation. With its deep ties to the industry, the historic Mayflower Hotel provides a fitting setting to launch this conference series as we reflect on where business aviation has been and look ahead to where it is going.Together, the launch of RVantage and RVA Summit '27 reflects RVA's continued commitment to delivering trusted, independent, data-driven intelligence while creating a platform for meaningful dialogue that will help shape the future of business aviation.
