PNBAA Engaged in Olympia

Friday, February 07, 2014 1:47 PM | Deleted user




Representatives from the PNBAA Board have attended the past two Washington State Legislature General Aviation Caucus meetings.  At the February 25th meeting, Alan Burnett, PNBAA’s Director of Government Affairs, had the opportunity to give legislators an overall picture of the benefits of business aviation in the state of Washington, and a synopsis of PNBAA’s mission and accomplishments.

In addition to PNBAA’s presence at these meetings, representatives from other aviation groups around the state and nationally were in attendance:  NBAA, AOPA, Washington Pilots Association, Washington Airport Management Association, Recreational Aviation Foundation, etc.

PNBAA would like to thank Senator Jim Honeyford (R-15th) and Representative Gael Tarleton (D-36th) for leading this newly formed WA General Aviation Caucus, and we are pleased that this Caucus will continue to grow into the next legislative session.  We ask our members to reach out to your respective legislators to help educate them about the importance of business aviation in the state.

Why is this GA Caucus important?  The General Aviation community in Washington (of which Business Aviation is a part) now has a conduit for our issues and concerns, and to help educate legislators about the importance of our industry to the state of Washington.  Did you know…that General Aviation supports over 7,600 jobs and contributes over 490 million dollars of economic output in the state of Washington?  Please use the following links for more advocacy tools:
