NATA’s Essential Stakeholder Gatherings Highlight How General Aviation Advances Communities Across America

The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) has announced the launch of a new initiative called “General Aviation Advancing America.” At cities throughout the U.S., NATA leadership will join in focus groups consisting of 10 or fewer essential community and aviation stakeholders to discuss how rural airports serve as a runway for economic development, job recovery, and emergency response. The General Aviation Advancing America initiative is designed to encourage open dialogue among a focused group of key participants on how general aviation stakeholders facilitate the success of the community. Another goal of these gatherings is to generate ideas on how we can work together to demonstrate and communicate the significant, meaningful contributions of the airport and its tenant businesses during this time of challenge and change.

The first General Aviation Advancing America events will take place in Colorado and Nevada. An additional gathering may be landing at an airport near you, please check www.fly.nata.aero/GeneralAviationAdvancingAmerica for the upcoming schedule. If you are interested in hosting at your airport, please contact Ryan Waguespack at ryanw@nata.aero
