NATA Announces Changes To Its Board Of Directors

Curt Castagna, President And Ceo Of Aeroplex/Aerolease Group, Has Been Named As The New Board Chair

On June 18th at its Annual Meeting and Aviation Business Conference, the National Air Transportation Association (NATA) announced changes to its Board of Directors. Curt Castagna, president and CEO of Aeroplex/Aerolease Group (Long Beach, CA), has been named as the new Board Chair. Clive Lowe, the Senior vice president of Business Development for Atlantic Aviation (Arlington, VA) was appointed as Vice Chair.

Four Members also left the Board after their terms came to an end last week. Clara Bennett, the Executive Director of the Boca Raton Airport, has served on the Board for two terms, beginning in April of 2013. Andy Priester, president & CEO of Priester Aviation, has also served on the Board since April of 2013, additionally as Chairperson from June 2015 to June 2016. Christian Sasfai, former COO and vice president of TAC Air, served on the Board for one term beginning in June 2016. And finally, Greg Schmidt, President and CEO of Pentastar Aviation, completed his time on the NATA Board after joining in April of 2017 and serving as Chairperson from June 2017 to June 2018.

NATA president Gary Dempsey stated, “we are very grateful to the leadership and expertise Clara, Andy, Christian, and Greg have given to this Association over the past years. Their guidance led NATA into a period of exciting growth and positive change. It has been my pleasure to work with them in my capacities both as a former Board Member and as NATA President.”

Newly appointed to the Board for a term of three years are Donald Haloburdo, Senior vice president of Flight Services at Jet Aviation; Chris Rozansky, Executive Director of the Naples Airport Authority; and Megan Wolf, Chief Operating Officer of Flexjet, LLC.

“NATA is excited to bring in these new perspectives to the Board, which provide a well-rounded representation of the many facets of the general aviation community. We strive to strike a balance between the different types of businesses comprising this industry and are eager to see what we can achieve moving forward together. Under the new leadership of Curt Castagna and Clive Lowe, I expect the Association to continue to prosper, provide leadership and effect positive change for our members and the general aviation industry at large as we approach our 80th year of service,” Dempsey concluded.
