A Roomful of Aviation Experience, Once a Week

In aviation sales and marketing, time is always the constraint—and ironically, that’s exactly why most teams avoid the one thing that could help them move faster: talking things through. In this video, the ABCI team breaks down why our weekly Group Office Hours aren’t a distraction from “real work,” but a strategic advantage. We unpack how shared problem-solving accelerates learning in a slow-moving industry, prevents costly strategic drift, and gives busy aviation professionals leverage they simply don’t get working alone.
