NATA Expands Reach of Human Trafficking Awareness
NATA has already trained 5,000 crew members on human trafficking awareness and mitigation, but believes much more needs to be done.

A little more than a year after the National Air Transportation Association (NATA) began to highlight the issues surrounding human trafficking and associated regulatory requirements for the aviation industry, the organization has teamed up with the U.S. government on its Blue Lightning air carrier awareness and training initiative and has now trained several thousand pilots and hundreds of air carriers on preventative measures.

While encouraged with the response to the training, NATA president and CEO Tim Obitts said more needs to be done to reach all carriers and to widen the scope of training to FBOs.
