Six Additional Sessions Planned For 2018
On February 22, the National Air Transportation Association (NATA) held the second in its series of 2018 Industry Town Hall meetings at Austin Executive Airport in Texas. NATA Managing Director, Safety and Training Michael France was joined by regional aviation business professionals from airports, FBOs, MROs, flight training providers and university aviation programs.
The group discussed an array of topics, including staffing challenges, attracting the next generation of aviation business leaders and the impact of drones on general aviation. The town hall also covered flight training, regulatory consistency and NFPA 409 Foam requirement issues.
“The town hall was insightful and provided great dialogue surrounding the concerns of the Austin general aviation community,” stated France. “The conversations initiated during these meetings help NATA set the legislative and regulatory agenda, when advocating on behalf of our member companies and industry. NATA’s town halls also assist the association in identifying how to better serve and empower the success of aviation businesses in the marketplace,” added Tim Obitts NATA Executive Vice President and General Counsel. “We appreciate Austin Executive Airport for hosting our second town hall of the year and AirSure Limited for sponsoring this important series of industry meetings. We thank the attendees for their participation in our town hall, as general aviation is a key contributor to the Austin-metro economy,” Obitts said.
