On November 5th through November 7th, 2009, AOPA held their
annual Aviation Summit at the Tampa Convention Center located in
Tampa, Florida. Over 7,500 aviation enthusiasts attended various
forums, speeches, as well as hundreds of booths featuring the
latest in G.A. technology.
AOPA kicked off this year’s summit with a riveting opening
session entitled “One Voice,” led by AOPA’s
President and CEO, Craig Fuller. The panel, featuring
association CEOs from AEA, EAA, GAMA, NATA, NBAA, and WAI,
discussed the most vital aspects affecting general aviation
today. From technological advancements to economical and
government impact, industry leaders spoke candidly about the
general aviation market and what they, as well as the community at
large, can do to support the progression of aviation in the
future.
In the changing congressional climate, as those on Capital Hill
search for viable solutions to economic recovery, the panel
discussed the emerging opportunity for industry leaders and
advocates to reassert aviation’s economic value. Pete
Bunce described GAMA’s continued efforts to gather
comprehensive data detailing both the aviation industry’s
contribution to the overall U.S. economy, as well as its direct
impact on local economies throughout the country.
It is the hope that by providing accurate analysis on how
aviation affects individual districts and constituency,
congressional leaders will be more apt to support the growth of the
industry through key policy decisions.
