Will Work With Organization On 'Technically Feasible And Economically Reasonable' Environmental Standards

GAMA has formally joined the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG). ATAG is an independent coalition of stakeholders from all facets of aviation dedicated to advancing environmentally sustainable aviation manufacturing and operations.

“The general aviation (GA) manufacturing industry is committed to addressing climate change by improving the fuel efficiency of aviation as the industry grows,” GAMA President and CEO Pete Bunce said. “We are pleased to formally join with other stakeholders in aviation to work together under the ATAG umbrella.”

Bunce continued, “General Aviation, including business aviation, is a vital part of the transport infrastructure and is responsible for generating significant economic activity and creating good jobs around the world. We look forward to working with ATAG to ensure that the 39th General Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in 2016 develops environmental standards for the industry that are technically feasible and economically reasonable, help to protect the environment, and allow aviation to grow on a sustainable basis for the long term.”
