For the past thirty years Rene Cardona has been involved in corporate
aircraft sales. During these three decades there have been many changes in the
industry; the advent of improved fuel efficient engines, larger longer range
aircraft, and the expansion of the market from it being predominantly a U.S.
market to now being a truly global market.
Rene Cardona attended Georgia Institute of Technology, in Atlanta, GA, where he
majored in industrial management. While attending Georgia Tech in 1980,
Rene
Cardona joined International Jet Markets, a small independent aircraft brokerage
company as a market researcher where he cut his teeth, and learned the ropes of
aircraft putting aircraft deals together within the new emerging business jet
industry. The firm, established in the mid 1970s, specialized in the sale and
marketing of executive jets, turboprops and engines. Rene Cardona serviced his
clients as an agent, broker and consultant.
In 1988 Rene Cardona relocated to Lincoln, Nebraska where he joined Duncan
Aviation. Joining the aircraft sales department, Rene Cardona was able to bring
the brokerage knowledge gained while in Atlanta, as well as a national base of
relationships developed over his years at International Jet Markets. Duncan
Aviation’s well-known full services fixed base operation, with an excellent U.S.
and international reputation for providing quality services based in Lincoln,
Nebraska, was a logical choice and allowed him to settle down and raise a
family. Rene Cardona is currently in his twenty-first year with Duncan Aviation.
Rene Cardona’s depth of experience allows him the expert eye of a veteran. The
private aircraft industry has changed a great deal over the last three decades.
Rene Cardona is a sought-after industry insider and has been given the
opportunity to offer his perspective through industry publications on numerous
occasions. He has offered his views in Business & Commercial Aviation magazine
and most recently Rene Cardona was interviewed in the publication’s soon to be
released May 2010 edition, The Planning and Purchasing Handbook. He and several
other colleagues from the aircraft broker community offered insight into the
