Aero-News Quote of the Day

"A $100,000 aircraft is no luxury and does not belong in the same category as a car of the same value... COPA has worked with our industry partners and sister associations to advocate for a just and equitable tax that does not single out members of the aviation community. COPA will continue to advocate for the aviation community and work with all our stakeholders to reach that goal. The baseline must be increased, the carryover tax for exempt aircraft should be eliminated and the process must be simplified."
