What Could They Mean To FL Aviation?
How best to cash in on the impending
air taxi boom... and will there BE an air taxi boom? Those are the
questions posed by the Consortium for Aviation System Advancement
(CASA)... and to get the word out, the group told Aero-News this
week they will hold a membership and information meeting on June
14, 2006 at the Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa, Fort Myers,
FL.
"Florida is the ideal location for the on demand, per seat air
taxi service because of the many community airports in the state ,"
said Ray Wabler, Executive Director. "The potential for economic
growth at these airports is one of the most positive forces in many
years that will be available to non-commercial airport in the
state."
CASA is spearheading research to gather information about
airports who will benefit from service providers that will soon be
flying in Florida.
The event will follow the Florida Aviation Trades
Association’s 60th Annual Meeting and Trade Show, June 12
– 14, 2006 at the same location.
The CASA meeting will start with a luncheon at 12:30 PM followed
by the membership meeting. The membership meeting is open to
interested parties seeking information about CASA and NGATS and the
economic development potential as the new air taxi service
becomes a reality.
Next Generation Air Transportation System, or NGATS, is the
designation given to the new concept of how travel will change over
the next decade.
