Top executives from five general aviation organizations joined NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen Tuesday morning at the 2017 edition of the NBAA convention in opposition to proposed legislation that would privatize the U.S. air traffic control system. Calling the measure “potentially the biggest threat we have ever seen,” Bolen welcomed his counterparts to the stage at the annual No Plane No Gain Media Kick-Off Breakfast to brief attendees on the status of industry efforts to fight the legislation.
