NATA’s strong advocacy here in Washington is making a difference in combating negative impacts on your business as a result of the shutdown. In an effort to address concerns presented by NATA and others, the FAA recalled 800 furloughed safety workers, including safety inspectors and other safety employees in the agency’s Flight Standards office.

“NATA commends FAA Administrator Huerta for recognizing the impacts and consequences of the shutdown on our industry in making this decision. We realize that this measure will not resolve all of the problems facing our businesses, but is a step in the right direction,” said NATA President and CEO Thomas L. Hendricks. “NATA thanks our members for their timely responses in providing needed information on the economic impact that the shutdown is having on aviation businesses, especially small businesses. When we speak as one voice, we are heard. NATA will continue discussions with key decision-makers to urge them to work expeditiously on resolutions to issues that have been brought to our attention.”
