NATA Charter Town Hall Helps Operators ID and Solve Problems
The National Air Transportation Association is holding a series of Air Charter Town Hall meetings throughout the U.S. this year.

After testing the concept last year in Atlanta, the National Air Transportation Association (NATA) has begun holding a series of Air Charter Operators Town Hall meetings, with the first this year held yesterday at the Ross Aviation FBO in Long Beach, California. Approximately 20 charter operators and industry participants attended the meeting, which was led by Tim Obitts, NATA's executive v-p of operations and business and general counsel; Suran Wijayawardana, chair of the NATA Air Charter Committee and COO of Alerion Aviation; and Ryan Waguespack, v-p of business development for Priority Jet. The next town hall event is scheduled for Greer, South Carolina, on January 31 at the SAI Flight Services FBO.
