O governador Oklahoma informações recém-lançado a partir de um estudo que revela Aviation é o segundo maior setor econômico para o Estado.
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin anunciou recentemente os resultados do Oklahoma Aviation & Estudo de Impacto Econômico Aerospace, que mostrou que a aviação e aeroespacial é o segundo maior motor econômico do estado.
The study found that almost $44 billion in annual economic activity is being produced in the sector, apoiando 206,000 jobs and an $11.7 billion payroll.
Fallin is a longtime supporter of aviation, and a featured speaker at NBAA’s 2015 convention in Las Vegas. “As governor, I know that one of the top reasons that a business may look at or choose Oklahoma or a particular community is the presence of having a general aviation airport,” she noted during her address to attendees.
“Aviation and aerospace is extensive in Oklahoma – it includes the 109 public airports that comprise the state system, the tenants on those airports such as American Airlines and the FAA Monroney Aeronautical Center; the three Air Force bases; and off-airport aerospace businesses like Boeing, NORDAM and FlightSafety,” said Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission (OAC) Director Victor Bird. “This study provides the foundation for system planning and future investment in our airport system for decades to come.”
