NATA proudly marks the 50th anniversary of its Workers’ Compensation Insurance Program, celebrating five decades of supporting aviation businesses through specialized coverage, a strong focus on workplace safety, and meaningful returns for participants.

“NATA’s workers’ compensation program is designed to reward a safety-first culture with tangible financial results,” said NATA President and CEO Curt Castagna. “Reaching this 50-year milestone reflects the value of long-term industry partnership and a shared commitment to safer workplaces. When aviation businesses invest in safety, they strengthen their operations, support their employees, and contribute to the ongoing success of the industry.”

Since its inception, the program has reflected NATA’s long-standing commitment to helping aviation businesses strengthen safety practices, manage risk, and protect their teams. Beginning July 1, 2026, NATA will continue advancing the broker-driven Workers’ Compensation Insurance Program with Global Aerospace, Inc. serving as underwriter.
