The Business Aviation Fact Book has been updated, highlighting the central role of business aviation in America’s economy and transportation system, according to officials with the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA).
The Fact Book has been updated with the latest data from the FAA, state economic studies, industry surveys, and other sources, officials note.
Presented though infographics, charts, tables, photos, and real-world stories, the Fact Book brings to life the competitive gains for companies and organizations using business aircraft; the industry’s role in supporting 1 million jobs and driving more than $200 million in economic activity each year; the lifeline business aviation provides to communities across America; and the sector’s role in humanitarian endeavors, association officials said.
This year’s edition of the Fact Book also highlights the emphasis business aviation has had on sustainability, association officials note. Over the past four decades, business aviation has achieved a 40% reduction in carbon emissions, officials add.
The book, a publication of the No Plane, No Gain advocacy campaign, is designed for aviation professionals and advocates, as well as newcomers, the public and civic leaders.
The 33-page publication is downloadable as a PDF, and print copies will be free at the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), taking place Oct. 12-14, 2021, in Las Vegas.
