NBAA is among several organizations working to ensure that business aviation is well represented at the 2019 International Civil Aviation Organization Triennial Assembly. For example, “With the renewed focus of supersonic transport and how to safely, efficiently and responsibly bring that technology back to the community, it appears that business aviation may take a leadership role with helping to establish updated standards that reflect current priorities on emissions, on noise and efficiency,” said Doug Carr, NBAA vice president, regulatory and international affairs.
This week, NBAA Flight Plan host Pete Combs speaks with:
Doug Carr, NBAA, vice president, regulatory and international affairs
Kurt Edwards, International Business Aviation Council (IBAC), director general
Bruce Parry, European Business Aviation Association (EBAA), senior manager, environment
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.
The National Pause for General Aviation Safety is an industry-wide initiative, supported by NBAA, which encourages pilots and operators to take the time to proactively address complacency, communication breakdowns and other potential issues affecting our industry.
Professional development plays a crucial role in advancing a career in business aviation, but it can be difficult for the industry's young professionals to find the time - and finances - to pursue opportunities for growth. However, there are many paths that can yield a valuable "return on you," that are worth seeking out.
