Doug Carr, NBAA’s senior v-p for safety, security, sustainability, and international operations, is retiring from the business aviation association at the end of August after 28 years. Carr joined NBAA in April 1998 as manager of domestic operations and was later promoted through roles including manager of safety and operations, director of government affairs, and v-p of regulatory and international affairs, becoming NBAA’s primary liaison to agencies such as the FAA, TSA, and CBP.
Among his career milestones, Carr helped lead the FAA’s Fractional Ownership Aviation Rulemaking Committee, which established the legal framework for fractional aircraft ownership in the U.S. He also helped develop the DCA Access Standard Security Program, which restored business aviation access to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) after 9/11. Additionally, he served as a subject matter expert on the FAA’s Part 125/135 flight and rest rulemaking committee.
