Two business aviation executives are joining forces to form the Advanced Air Mobility Association (AAMA). Founders Bill Minkoff and Edwin Brenninkmeyer say the group will seek to promote advances in electric aviation, with members expected to include aircraft and systems manufacturers, finance groups, operators, and universities.

U.S.-based AAMA this week announced the appointment of Mat Garretson as its executive director. He is executive director of the A-7 Corsair II Association and president of Friends of Naval Aviation.
