Although business aviation is not a cause of aviation system delays, weather and other factors can pose unexpected travel challenges. If business aviation is in your planning this holiday season, it’s best to prepare for potential delays and have alternatives at the ready. “Historical volume days are always important, [as are] early filings and looking at both the national and the international landscape as a whole,” says FAA National Operations Manager Jason Rooks. “When I say that, I mean checking NOTAMs [and] understanding system impact reports. All of that gives [insights] into what’s going on.”
In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:
- Janice Planten, manager, NBAA Air Traffic Services
- Jason Rooks, national operations manager, FAA
- Dean Snell, manager, NBAA Air Traffic Services
The NBAA Flight Plan podcast, which ran from 2009 to 2025, provided an overview of important developments affecting NBAA members, and the association’s work to advocate for their interest. The archive of past episodes will remain available for your enjoyment. Please note that no new episodes will be released.
