If you’re a stickler for the truth, the DOT Future of Aviation Advisory Committee (FAAC) meeting that the FAA hosted in late August may have been more about what was missing than what actually took place.
The purpose of the event was to discuss “some challenging issues related to the future of aviation in our country,” according to Great Lakes regional administrator Barry Cooper. Somehow the seven-hour meeting morphed into a session that was focused on the future of the airlines, not the entire aviation industry. Though the phrase “business aviation” was mentioned a few times during the session, the role business aviation will play in the coming years was all but ignored.
