NBAA Business Aviation Forum Draws Record Crowd
Posted by Rachel Dixon
The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) held a business aviation forum at Teterboro airport in New Jersey. With over 1,900 people in attendance, the NBAA set a new record turnout for the event. Several business aviation forums are sponsored by the NBAA and held all over the country. The events feature new private jet models on display and booths for over 80 exhibitors. Also featured were education sessions on the importance of safety management systems, the future of business aircraft values and the No Plane No Gain Advocacy Campaign.
These business aviation forums provide education and networking opportunities to regional businesses involved in private jet manufacturing, operators and private jet brokers. The forums serve as a venue to make new business connections and discover new technologies, products and services being offered in the business aviation community.
It also allows for discussions regarding issues that affect regional aviation business, such as new airport policies, city council ordinances and new pieces of legislation that affect private jet travel and the business aviation industry. The forums serve to inform local aviation businesses about issues affecting them and provide them with information on how to make their voices heard as a community.
The record turnout in New Jersey, and the equally successful turnouts at other business aviation forums around the country show growing enthusiasm for the business aviation industry, as well as a positive trend in local aviation business involvement in advocacy. The upswing in aviation businesses involved in advocacy has made significant improvements on the status of the private jet industry. New legislation is being developed on national and state levels in support of the $150 billion dollar industry. Forums such as the one hosted by the NBAA are an important tool in garnering support for private aviation.
