general aviation.”

million billion for the economy annually and 1.2 million jobs
across the country,” stated Ed Bolen, President and CEO of

businesses to expand and realize new opportunities, without leaving
their communities.”
James K. Coyne, President and CEO of the National Air
Transportation Association (NATA), stated “The proclamation
of September as ‘General Aviation and Aerospace Appreciation
Month’ is a significant step in recognizing general aviation
as an integral part of the national transportation system. We thank

‘General Aviation and Aerospace Appreciation Month’ is
a reminder of the magnitude of an industry we often take for
granted.”
