NBAA regional forum series packs them in at Fort Worth
Flush with the success of the forum and static display held at Chicago DuPage Airport (DPA) in June, NBAA held another such event last month at Fort Worth

Flush with the success of the forum and static display held at Chicago DuPage Airport (DPA) in June, NBAA held another such event last month at Fort Worth (Texas) Meacham International Airport (FTW). The terminal there was transformed into a mini convention center, and an estimated 1,500 people attended the one-day event’s forums and training meetings. The wares of more than 50 exhibitors and 27 new and refurbished business aircraft were also on display for the scrutiny of attendees.

One rationale for the regional meetings, NBAA president Jack Olcott told AIN, was as a means to provide information on a local level about the value of business aviation. Several attendees at a “Benefits of a Business Airplane” forum led by Olcott indicated they were there to learn more about the possibilities of setting up corporate flight departments within their companies.
