Your COVID-19 Mission

May 11, 2020

With COVID-19 affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, what is it really like to be flying right now – and, how soon can we expect our industry to rebound from the drastic downturn of the past few months? “I don’t know necessarily that general aviation will bounce back faster than the airlines, but bizav has always seemed to be heavily involved in the recovery and rebuild portion of major events like earthquakes and hurricanes,” said John Kosak, program manager weather at NBAA Air Traffic Services. “So it wouldn’t surprise me, just because of the inherent flexibility and drive of business aviation, to see us leading the way.”

In this episode of NBAA’s Flight Plan, host Rob Finfrock speaks with:

  • Alex Gertsen, NBAA’s director for airports and ground infrastructure
  • Steve Hadley, NBAA’s regional program director and the association’s Southwest Central regional representative
  • John Kosak, Project Manager for Weather at NBAA Air Traffic Services.
  • Russ Arena, line pilot for Boston Scientific and Executive Director for the Massachusetts Business Aviation Association
