MoU Cements Longstanding Friendship Between Federal Regulators and Local Stakeholders

The National Association of State Aviation Officials (NASAO) inked a a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Federal Aviation Administration that 'renews' the longstanding relationship between the two organizations.

The chiefs of both groups, FAA Administrator Michael Whitaker and NASAO Board Chair Kyle Wanner, put their signatures together as they signed the MOU at the FAA's home base in Washington D.C.. The signing is only the most recent in a long line of such memoranda over the years, which has seen NASAO work hand-in-hand with the FAA on a range of safety pushes and aviation goals. The relationship has an anniversary in a few years, having started in 1996.

"Our recent meeting with the FAA Administrator was an incredible opportunity to highlight the valuable partnership that exists between NASAO and the FAA," stated NASAO Chair Kyle Wanner. "This MOU signing is another important step forward for all of our state aviation agencies, as we collectively work together to further collaborate with the FAA in order to strengthen and grow our nation's air transportation system."

The newest memorandum "seeks to address key issues through continued collaboration on federal and state levels," according to the NASAO. It outlines key objectives, action goals, processes, and structures needed to achieve joint targets.
