Groups Sign MOU To Exchange Expertise And Information

The Alaska Air Carriers Association (AACA) and National Air Transportation Association (NATA) announced the formation of a partnership to create a framework for advancing the success and safety of air carriers.

The AACA and NATA signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate with each other in an exchange of information and expertise through committee engagements and collaborations on business, outreach, and events. The organizations will work to provide a unified voice for aviation businesses and to connect industry leaders with engaged communities through committee meetings, networking events, and conferences.

AACA Executive Director Will Day said, “AACA and NATA have shared an aligned mission and long-time relationship over the years, including open access to industry intelligence, benefit programs, and member engagement and educational events that have been invaluable in helping our constituents overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. We are excited for the prospects of this heightened collaboration,”

Curt Castagna, NATA President and CEO said, “Air carriers across the country, especially in states like Alaska, face many unique challenges in this competitive industry – some evident and others simmering beneath the surface. The knowledge-sharing, best practice development, insights, and overall support of the aviation community through this agreement is instrumental in elevating the industry and assisting in times of need. We look forward to a mutually beneficial, collaborative partnership between AACA and NATA in furthering the mission of our collective membership and each respective organization,”
