NBAA Holds Successful Maintenance Conference

AMTs and Company Descend on Portland, Oregon in Force

The National Business Aviation Association capped off a successful 2024 NBAA Maintenance Conference, and already started looking forward to next year.

The NBAA saw attendees make the rounds from all over the continental US, bringing those who want to foster a stronger generation of maintenance professionals. Keynote speakers included Greg Wooldridge, a 3-time CO of the US Navy's Blue Angels and Amy Grubb, an FBI psychologist who walked audiences through proper organizational handling.

“I’ve taken the adage, ‘You fly the airplane, don’t let it fly you,’ and I’ve applied it to everything in my life,” said Wooldridge. “You get offered a new challenge, a new opportunity – whatever it is – you get on it. Don’t let situations push you around; don’t let challenges push you off course.” Along with the 'go get 'em' speeches, attendees got to see AMT students awarded for their victory in the conference's Maintenance Competition, as well as a raft of exhibitors showing off their latest wares.

“We are thrilled that this year’s conference brought people together to learn from each other, to embrace change and to inspire the next generation of maintenance professionals,” said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. “We set a new standard with sessions on the latest thinking in safety management systems, expert panels focused on emerging technologies for aircraft maintenance, and an inspiring youth competition. Clearly, this event put a spotlight on a profession that is evolving in compelling directions.”
