NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen is visiting with the Chicago Area Business Aviation Association (CABAA) today to discuss local and broader national issues, such as what is in store for Congress this year. On a local level, Bolen anticipates having a dialog about under consideration by the Illinois General Assembly that would credit $2 per gallon for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) purchases. This dovetails with NBAA’s focus on sustainability industry-wide and the belief that SAF is a key toward the goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Another issue both at the national and local levels is workforce development. NBAA noted CABAA has been especially active in workforce development through scholarships, training, and other outreach initiatives. The CABAA Educational Foundation awards more than $90,000 in funding each year for students.
