Planet Nine Private Air Schedules Four Fall 2026 Industry Events Including NBAA-BACE and Bombardier Safety Standdown
Why It MattersRecurring participation in safety, market and networking events shows how charter and management operators use the fall conference circuit to align fleet strategy, valuation views and safety culture across the industry.
What happened
Planet Nine Private Air, a private jet management and charter operator headquartered at Van Nuys Airport (VNY) in California, has announced its fall 2026 event schedule, with executives and operational leaders set to attend four aviation summits.
The lineup includes NBAA-BACE, where representatives will discuss market trends and fleet capabilities; the Southern California Aviation Association (SCAA) Golf Tournament, supporting regional business aviation fellowship and scholarship initiatives; Corporate Jet Investor (CJI) Miami, focused on market economics, asset valuation, and business jet sector trends; and the Bombardier Safety Standdown, marking its 30th anniversary, to be held in Wichita, Kansas, where Planet Nine team members will participate in safety-related activities.
"Fall is a critical period for our industry as we reflect on the year's milestones and strategize for the future," said Mike Lewis, Director of Aircraft Management at Planet Nine Private Air. "Whether we are evaluating market growth at CJI Miami, reinforcing our safety culture at the Bombardier Safety Standdown, or connecting face-to-face at NBAA-BACE and the SCAA tournament, our team remains deeply invested in driving excellence across every pillar of our operations."
Planet Nine operates a global floating fleet of ultra-long-range business jets, including Gulfstream, Bombardier, and Dassault Falcon aircraft.
Industry impact & what to watch
Operators with floating or managed fleets tend to treat the fall calendar as a coordinated cycle rather than a series of unrelated trips: safety standdowns, market-economics forums and regional association events each feed a different part of the business, from crew culture to asset valuation to referral networks.
NBAA-BACE and CJI Miami function as venues where management companies test how their fleet mix and pricing assumptions compare against the wider market, while an event like the Bombardier Safety Standdown reflects how OEMs use long-running programs to keep operators aligned on safety practices across different aircraft types.
What remains to be seen is whether Planet Nine's attendance translates into any announced fleet, management-contract or partnership changes following these events, since the schedule itself only confirms participation rather than outcomes.
