Livemercial To Showcase LiveJet Luxury Executive Aircraft at 2009 NBAA Convention in Orlando

October 19th, 2009

livejet - Dornier 328 LiveJet from Livemercial Aviation Livemercial CEO Johnny Mathis will be on hand at the 62nd Annual National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) 2009 Meeting and Convention in Orlando, FL to display the first of his LiveJet commercial-to-corporate series: a 2000 Dornier 328Jet.

Known as the world’s largest civil aviation tradeshow, the NBAA connects buyers and sellers of the business aviation community and helps exhibitors market their products to potential buyers.

The featured LiveJet, currently on the market to sell, is a commercial commuter with a gulf-stream size cabin, yet has an operating cost of a small to midsize jet.

“From a pilot’s perspective it has all the latest and greatest avionics: a full glass cockpit, a handful of memory items and more redundancy than typical corporate aircraft,” said Mathis. “Made for commercial operation, it’s used to high cycle times and low down times and is able to go in and out of many airports that other corporate jets cannot, because it is never weight limited by runway length or temperature.”

The NBAA Convention will host representatives from every segment of the business aviation industry, from 82 countries around the world; in addition to offering two days of education sessions tailored to light business airplane (LBA) owners, pilots and entrepreneurs who may be considering the value an airplane can provide to their business

Livemercial, Mathis Each Pick Up an Award

October 12th, 2009


(Promotional Video for Inc. 500 || 5000)

Winning an award is always exciting. But when you collect two awards in two days from two completely different organizations, it’s hard to be anything but humble and thankful.

“Humble” and “Thankful” is how Livemercial CEO Johnny Mathis is feeling.

On Thursday, September 24th, 2009, in the prestigious Innsbrook Country Club in Merrillville, IN, Mathis was honored at the Times of Northwest Indiana’s 20 under 40” reception. An event hosted this year by The Times publisher Bill Masterson Jr., the 20 under 40 recognize individuals under the age of 40 who not only have become successful in their respective fields but who have also helped make Northwest Indiana a better place to live.

Then the following morning Mathis and his wife Lisa boarded the Livemercial jet for Washington D.C. where they were invited to attend Inc. magazine’s 5000 Gala dinner, a capstone event to the 2009 Inc. 500 || 5,000 Conference and Awards Ceremony.

A list which began in 1982 and whose elite honorees have included Microsoft and Oracle, the Inc. 500I5000 list celebrates the 5,000 fastest-growing companies in the U.S. It is no suprise that livemercial was added to the list.

Congratulation goes out to Johnny, the staff at Livemercial, and the city of Valparaiso, IN for having such distinctions brought to The Region.

And a big, heart-felt “thank you” goes out to our clients past, present, and future for allowing us to be a part of your growth and development.
