AIN’s coverage of NATA’s Aviation Business Conference noted that President and CEO Curt Castagna marked the Association’s 85th anniversary by emphasizing the critical need for strong member engagement—particularly in light of the recent government shutdown and resulting operational restrictions.
At the recent ABC held in Dallas, Castagna reflected on NATA’s eight-decade history of championing access, safety, and the interests of aviation businesses, adding that the shutdown underscored both the resilience of the system and the urgency of predictable Agency funding and Congressional action to avoid future disruptions.
Castagna urged members to continue sharing data and experiences to strengthen NATA’s advocacy efforts and emphasized that a healthy aviation ecosystem depends on balance, collaboration, and sustained engagement across the community.
