NBAA Urges Senate to Strengthen Industry-Government Safety Partnerships for U.S. Aviation Leadership
The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) has testified before a U.S. Senate committee, emphasizing the critical role of collaboration between industry and government in maintaining aviation safety. President and CEO Ed Bolen highlighted that these data-driven partnerships are the "secret sauce" behind the nation's gold standard in aviation safety. He advocated for strengthening these proactive, non-punitive programs, such as the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee and Safety Management Systems. Bolen warned against one-size-fits-all regulations, instead calling for tailored solutions to address specific risks. The goal is to ensure the U.S. continues to lead the world in aviation innovation and safety standards.
