Airlines for America, known as A4A, has announced a pending membership change, as Delta Air Lines stated its intent to leave the association effective April 26, 2016.

A4A President and CEO Nicholas Calio said the move by Delta was not unexpected as the carrier has not been aligned with other A4A members on a few key industry positions, including the need to modernize and improve the nation’s air traffic control system. The CH-53K King Stallion heavy lift helicopter prototype, being developed by Sikorsky for the U.S. Marine corps, achieved its first flight earlier this week. The 30-minute flight signals the beginning of a 2,000-hour flight test program using four test aircraft. As a the 2015 Redbird Migration is getting ready to start next week, Redbird Flight announced that Michael Huerta, the administrator of the FAA, will join the year’s largest gathering of industry professionals at the Migration Flight Training Conference on Wednesday, November 4 at Redbird Skyport in San Marcos, Texas. Huerta will be presenting the keynote address at the conference, and cover topics important to the industry, including changes to regulatory policies and the impact of advancing aviation technology.
