Back NATA News / March 10, 2026

NATA recently joined industry partners for a webinar preview of the 71st annual Business Aviation Safety Summit (BASS), taking place May 5–6 in Provo, Utah.

Moderated by Paige Kroner of the Flight Safety Foundation and featuring NATA COO Hector Huezo, the discussion explored safety leadership, operational resilience, workforce pressures, ramp risk, and illegal charter activity.

NATA will continue that conversation at the May summit, where NATA’s VP of Education and Safety Steve Berry will participate in a session focused on operational safety and training. His involvement will add practical perspective for attendees looking to strengthen day-to-day safety performance and reinforce a stronger safety culture across their organizations.
