“To the American People: Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind. To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. If we think on these things, there will be born in us a Savior and over us will shine a star sending its gleam of hope to the world.” ~Calvin CoolidgeIt is also the season when many look back and reflect on the blessing of the past year and offer thanks to our creator. From a business perspective, the year has had many ups and downs. We continue to see that the economy is performing in fits and starts. One quarter up, the next down. The aviation market seems to be holding its own, with many sectors finally appearing to recover. The aircraft lending market is also showing signs of life as interest rates remain low. However, as the economy improves and the Fed has discontinued “quantitative easing” look for rates to start to creep up over the next several months.
All in all, this has been a good year here at Dorr Aviation. We have added a wonderful new employee to our team, one of our long-standing employees is semi-retiring to Florida within the week, and we have redesigned our website, to name a few of the highlights from 2014. We are thankful for all of our blessings and particularly for our customers. We are truly appreciative for the opportunities you have given us and the confidence you have shown in us. We look ahead with optimism for a prosperous 2015.
