ast week, the National Air Transportation Association’s (NATA) Chairman Curt Castagna joined President and CEO Tim Obitts and Senior Vice President Ryan Waguespack in visiting regional airports in Bakersfield, California and Elko, Nevada as part of the Association’s “General Aviation Advancing America” initiative.

Last week, the National Air Transportation Association’s (NATA) “General Aviation Advancing America” initiative took flight, landing at seven total regional airports throughout Colorado.

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.
