Взаимодействие с местными чиновниками о преимуществах деловой авиации является отличительной чертой пропагандистской кампании «Нет самолета - нет выгоды»., и Дик Дубрава, Вице-президент НБАА по правительственным делам, поделится этим посланием с влиятельными лицами, принимающими решения в Западной Вирджинии, благодаря его участию в 14-й ежегодной Авиационной конференции Западной Вирджинии.
“Business aviation is an incredible resource for West Virginia,” Doubrava said. “The state is home to 17 general aviation facilities providing a vital link between small towns and communities, with larger municipalities and international commerce centers.”
According to the latest PricewaterhouseCoopers study, авиации общего назначения поддерживает 5,300 jobs in West Virginia, в результате чего $256 million in labor income and more than $1 billion to the state’s total annual economic output annually. Nationwide, the industry generates $219 billion in annual economic output and supports 1.1 миллион рабочих мест. The Pricewaterhouse Coopers study was commissioned by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, which jointly sponsors the No Plane No Gain program with NBAA, which helped fund the study.
West Virginia is also home to 26 фиксированные базовые операторы, 11 ремонт станций, and manufacturing and repair facilities for Aurora Flight Sciences, Bombardier Aerospace, Lockheed Martin and Pratt & Уитни.
Doubrava, who is making a repeat appearance at the annual conference, noted that the venue provides a valuable opportunity to discuss the value of business aviation generally, and the No Plane No Gain themes specifically, with the state’s airport managers and local officials, as well as federal and state lawmakers.
“Local officials sometimes overlook the importance of their local airports, and the economic activity and job creation that results from business activity at those airports, добавил он. “In addition to providing critical lift to small towns, businesses located in those communities would lack the ability to grow and succeed without business aviation.”
The 14th Annual West Virginia Aviation Conference will be held Aug. 7 в 9 in Wheeling, WV.
