NATA: Scheduled Air Service Cuts Offer GA Opportunities
National Air Transportation Association president and CEO Tim Obitts says general aviation is equipped to quickly fill gaps in air service.

A June 3 U.S. Department of Transportation final order allowing airlines to proceed with cuts in scheduled air service at smaller commercial airports presents an opportunity for general aviation to fill in those gaps, according to National Air Transportation Association president and CEO Tim Obitts. Despite dozens of comments against the planned service cuts by 15 airlines, including those that received financial support from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the final order upheld their actions.
