NBAA has established a new working group dedicated to runway and surface incidents to explore the recent incursions and other events. In testimony submitted to a Senate Commerce Committee hearing this week on “Addressing Close Calls To Improve Aviation Safety,” NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen said the runway and surface safety working group would bring together experts from across the industry.

“Although the business aviation community has built an impressive safety record, there have been some recent incidents that require thorough review and response,” he told the committee.
