Resolution Recognizes The Value Of GA To the Economy
The NBAA Wednesday welcomed the passage of a non-binding
resolution by the U.S. House of Representatives, that recognizes
the value of general aviation to the nation’s economic and
transportation systems. The resolution, H.Res. 508, was sponsored
by Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-1-NE).
“NBAA applauds Congressman Fortenberry for his resolution
recognizing the value of general aviation, including business
aviation, to citizens, companies and communities across the
U.S.,” said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. “We thank
him for introducing his resolution, and we commend the leaders in
the House who have signed on in support for the measure.”

Fortenberry’s resolution specifically points to the job
creation, economic activity, humanitarian support and business
productivity generated by the industry. Rep. Elijah Cummings
(D-7-MD) and Rep. Frank LoBiondo (R-2-NJ) of the House Aviation
Subcommittee also took to the floor to speak about general
aviation’s benefits and value to the country. These are among
the points also made through the No Plane No Gain advocacy
initiative, which is jointly sponsored by NBAA and the General
Aviation Manufacturers Association.
The resolution was strongly supported by members of the House
General Aviation Caucus. When it formed earlier this year, NBAA
welcomed the caucus that now has nearly 60 members representing
congressional districts across the country.
