NATA Hosts Southeast Regional Air Charter Operator Town Hall

Sixteen Companies Gathered To Discuss Issues

The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) held the second in its series of Air Charter Operator Town Hall meetings Tuesday with sixteen companies from across the southeastern region, gathering at SAI Flight Services at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport.

Discussion was led by Ryan Waguespack (Priority Jet), a member of the NATA Air Charter Committee, and covered a range of issues confronting the charter community including – strategies for recruiting and retaining pilots, the safety and competitive challenges posed by illegal charter and the impacts of new charter business models. Bill Deere, NATA’s Executive Vice President of Government and External Affairs, briefed attendees on the latest legislative and regulatory challenges confronting the charter operator community.

“Gatherings like these are important to the NATA Air Charter Committee’s abilities to stay on top of the issues impacting our industry,” said Waguespack. “We appreciate representatives from these companies taking time out of their schedules to attend and actively participate.

“We thank SAI Flight Services for allowing us to meet at their location and the on-field FBO, Cerulean Aviation, for sponsoring lunch. It is critical that we have the input and real world experiences of these operators in order to continue to be an effective voice for the charter community before the agencies and on Capitol Hill,” Deere said.
