NATA Scheduled Air Charter Summit for June

The National Air Transport Association has scheduled its Second Annual Air Charter Summit for June 9-11 at the Marriott Westfield near Dulles Airport outside Washington, DC. Last years' inaugural summit drew nearly 300 industry executives who heard from nationally recognized business leaders and government officials on topics including safety and regulatory issues confronting America's Part 135 community.
During the 2008 Air Charter Summit, attendees will gain first-hand knowledge of how to grow and thrive in an industry that is increasingly visible within the halls of government and to network with colleagues and prominent regulatory officials.
"The NATA Air Charter Summit has become the event for the Part 135 community to gather and learn the latest developments affecting its industry from top officials within business and the government," NATA President James K. Coyne stated. "This year's summit promises to be even better than last year when you consider the vast array of highly contentious and political issues confronting the charter industry."
Summit highlights include in-depth analyses of current regulatory and legislative issues as well as special topical sessions, including:
• Managing the emerging legal issues confronting charter operators
• Analysis of the most frequently violated regulations, and how to avoid noncompliance
• Updates on the latest Transportation Security Administration security initiatives, including security programs for private aircraft
• Understanding the impact of international SMS requirements on Part 135 operators
