Flight Planning and Flight Support Companies

NBAA has positioned full-time employees to work in partnership with the FAA’s Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC). This partnership led to the development of a subscription-based Member service which makes use of the FAA’s air traffic management tools and procedures introduced under the umbrella of Collaborative Decision Making (CDM). CDM is an evolving process that continually takes advantage of new technologies and better procedures to improve efficiency for operators in the National Airspace System (NAS). Placing staff at the ATCSCC puts NBAA in position to affect CDM products and develop services for operating members thus taking advantage of all that CDM has to offer.

Members can either be direct subscribers to NBAA Air Traffic Services (ATS) or alternatively may benefit from ATS by subscribing to various services offered by NBAA members that provide Flight Planning and Flight Support activities. This web page has been established to allow those companies that have partnered with NBAA a chance to briefly describe their services with links back to their main company web pages for more detailed offerings. It is important to note that NBAA ATS is not in competition with these providers, rather we are partnered with them to provide services to the membership at large.
