Effective May 4, 2023
There are three NBAA member categories:
The qualifications and dues structure for each member category are detailed below. The online membership applications will ask a few simple questions to identify your member category, then will calculate your dues based on the information you provide. Membership dues are non-refundable.
In addition, a Leadership Council member level is available to provide greater support to the association’s mission to promote an environment that fosters business aviation in the U.S. and around the world. Along with the full suite of NBAA member benefits, Leadership Council membership includes regular detailed political briefings, recognition on the NBAA website, exclusive invitations to functions at the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition and more. Leadership Council members must qualify for membership in one of the categories listed above. Learn more about the NBAA Leadership Council.
