NBAA Update
In light of recent publicity about some companies’ use of business aviation aircraft to attend congressional hearings, NBAA has fielded inquiries from news organizations about what business aviation is and how it is used in the U.S. To clear up any misperceptions, NBAA has provided the questions most often asked of the Association, with responses that lay out the facts to explain how business aviation helps companies of all sizes remain nimble, competitive and successful, especially in a difficult economic climate. In one of a number of interviews held last week, NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen told the Associated Press that companies use business aviation in part so that their employees can be productive and have access to phones and e-mail during flights. Bolen pointed out that business aviation also allows company officials to discuss proprietary information without worrying about being overheard. To review a document NBAA sent to reporters, visit:
