Association To Present New Tax Seminar For Charter Industry

The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) is offering a special tax seminar specifically geared towards Part 135 air charter operators.  The Tax Seminar for Air Charter Operators is designed to provide answers to some of the most common tax-related issues faced by the charter industry. The one-day seminar will take place on Monday, May 17, 2004, in conjunction with the association’s annual convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.  It will be held at the Las Vegas Hilton.  NATA’s convention is Tuesday, May 18, through Thursday, May 20, at the Las Vegas Conve

NBAA notes that a temporary flight restriction (TFR) for the Westchester County airport (HPN) area last Thursday, January 29 was in effect from 4:00 p.m. until 8:45 p.m. NBAA polled operators based at HPN to measure the impact of the TFR and found that many were appreciative of the advance notice provided by NBAA, which enabled them to re-schedule or re-position aircraft and crews outside of the TFR. "The unintended consequence of the TFR, for all of those re-positioning aircraft, was the creation of two additional critical phases of flight (per-aircraft) in some of the most congested airspace in the world," said NBAA's Bob Blouin.
