By General Aviation News Staff · September 21, 2016 ·

WASHINGTON, D.C. — At its fall board meeting in mid-Septembe, the National Air Transportation Association named Martin Hiller, owner and partner of Marathon Jet Center in Marathon, Florida, as president. He had been acting president since June when then-president Tom Hendricks left the association.

The board also promoted NATA Senior Vice Presidents, William Deere and Timothy Obitts.

Deere will now serve as Executive Vice President of Government and External Affairs, while Obitts will serve as Executive Vice President of Operations and Business, and will continue to serve as General Counsel.
