NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen stressed the need to remain vigilant in safety, noting that for business aviation to grow it must be safe and perceived to be safe. “We’re trying to address both of those,” Bolen said during the FAA Safety Summit this week.

Bolen remarked that aviation has many layers of safety and redundancy. “Sometimes those layers can allow someone to say, ‘it’s all okay. I can relax.’” He added, “that’s not the way we are.”
