NBAA testifies on Capitol Hill on behalf of thousands of companies that operate general aviation aircraft in the course of their business or are involved with business aviation.

USA TODAY's report on the corporate jet was an injustice to the thousands of Americans who rely on business aviation to improve the efficiency and success of their organizations.

Karen Di Piazza’s story on the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO), (“IS-BAO” – Industry Standard or Political Placebo, Airport Journals, March 2005) mischaracterizes IS-BAO, misrepresents sources, and links IS-BAO to matters unrelated to the initiative.

This security program is required for part 121, 125, and 135 operators that charter aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of greater than 100,309 pounds or with a passenger seating configuration of 61 seats or more. The program requires that operators carry out specific security measures such as screening passengers and their accessible baggage prior to boarding the aircraft.

A recent report on aviation security made for a sensational Times headline (“Government Report on U.S. Aviation Warns of Security Holes,” March 13), but readers were ill-served when the newspaper mischaracterized what the report said about general aviation security, then overstated the possible impact of the document for the industry.
