NATA Updates Member Committee Structure

With the first NATA member committee meetings of 2013 just over a month away, the association has completed a restructuring of the member committees to more closely align with NATA’s strategic goals. Under the revised structure, the following committees will exist:

• Airport Business Committee – This committee will focus on the challenges and opportunities faced by businesses operating on an airport, including FBOs, repair stations, charter operators and other aeronautical service and support operations. The Airport Business Committee will initially include members of the previous Airports, Business Management and Environmental Committees.
• Air Charter Committee – This committee will remain unchanged and continue to focus on issues affecting Part 135 on-demand charter and Part 91K operations.
• Aircraft Maintenance and Systems Technology Committee – This committee will also remain unchanged and continue to focus on issues affecting aircraft maintenance and certificated repair stations.
• Safety 1st Committee – The Safety 1st committee will consist of members of the previous Safety and Security Committee and will provide input and advice on NATA’s highly successful Safety 1st programs.
• Flight Training Committee – This committee will remain unchanged and continue to focus on issues impacting flight training providers, including certificated and non-certificated flight schools and Part 142 training centers.

NATA’s member committees are open to all members and work to advance the objectives outlined in the NATA Strategic Plan, while also serving as a forum where member companies can:

• Provide input to the association on the key issues affecting aviation businesses and guidance on the course the association takes in addressing those issues
• Leverage industry expertise to create products that provide a general benefit to the association membership
• Network with other aviation business professionals, industry leaders and key government officials

The Airport Business, Air Charter, Aircraft Maintenance and Safety 1st Committees will hold in-person meetings on Wednesday, April 24, following the conclusion of NATA’s Aviation Business & Legislative Conference.
