Alexandria, VA, May 15, 2009 — This week, the National Air Transportation Association (NATA) held its 13th Annual Day on the Hill event that included nearly 75 association members meeting with over 100 members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate and their staff.
“Our Day on the Hill event is an invaluable opportunity for our members to visit with their federal legislators to discuss aviation business issues of national and local importance,” NATA President James K. Coyne explained. “The potential for a user fee proposal for the general aviation industry and release of a new Transportation Security Administration security directive on badging, the Large Aircraft Security Program and the new Clean Energy bill were just a few of the critical issues that our members addressed with their Members of Congress.”
“Our members have once again demonstrated to key policy makers on Capitol Hill the important role they each play in our national air transportation system and the global economy,” Coyne concluded.
