or businesses, the decision to buy an aircraft can be complicated, influenced by economic trends, changes in accounting rules and the ever-evolving dynamics of markets. But in 2011—and only in 2011—the decision has become much easier. The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010* signed into law in December extends the bonus depreciation allowance granted

under the 2010 Small Business Jobs Act for another year—and increases the amount from 50 to 100 percent. This means a business can write off the entire cost of an aircraft purchased and delivered in 2011 in the 2011 tax year, instead of depreciating it over several years. The first-year outlay for an aircraft is effectively and substantially reduced, making it easier for small businesses to

capitalize on the tremendous income opportunities that arise when executives, sales personnel and technicians are no longer bound by the limitations of commercial airline travel. And for current owners of Hawker Beechcraft products, the 2011 bonus depreciation allowance is also available on upgrades made to their aircraft through Hawker Beechcraft Services.
