- NBAA Welcomes Hersman Nomination as NTSB Chair
- June 15, 2009
NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen last week commended the Obama Administration for nominating Deborah A.P. Hersman as chair of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). "Debbie has a good understanding of business aviation,” Bolen said. “She knows that our industry has long recognized that safety is Job One and that we are constantly working to build upon our already strong safety record. We look forward to continuing our work with Debbie and her colleagues at the NTSB." Since her appointment to the board, Hersman has been the member on scene at more than a dozen major transportation accidents, including several high-profile business aviation incidents. To read an interview with Hersman included in the March/April edition of NBAA’s Business Aviation Insider newsletter, visit: http://www.nbaa.org/news/insider/2009/0409/capview-0409.php - Newspaper Editorial’s Headline: No Plane No Gain
- June 15, 2009
In a recent editorial published under the headline, "No Plane, No Gain," the Savannah Morning News echoes the message from the industry's advocacy campaign in pointing out that 1.2 million people are employed in business aviation nationwide, and that "the industry's annual $150 billion output ripples through communities, supporting hosts of local businesses and key social service organizations like the United Way." No Plane No Gain, jointly supported by NBAA and GAMA, communicates with policymakers and opinion leaders about these and other benefits of business aviation.

- June 15, 2009
Following a story published recently by several news organizations about a study examining only a company's non-business use of its airplane, NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen issued a statement noting that nearly all of the coverage had "flown right past some key points." The statement, sent to all news outlets that ran the story and posted widely on social networks like Twitter, points out: "Most flights are made strictly for business reasons, which is why business aviation is so important to companies of all sizes, all across the U.S. The fact is, business aviation allows companies to increase their competitiveness and productivity, which is especially important in the current economic climate."
