🇺🇸✈️ Yesterday, our CEO, Cristine Kirk, represented Malone AirCharter and the business aviation industry on Capitol Hill in her role as Chair of the National Air Transportation Association (NATA) Board of Directors.
Alongside aviation leaders from across the country, Cristine participated in meetings with five Congressional and Senate offices, advocating for issues that directly impact aviation safety, efficiency, and the communities we serve.
Her focus was on two critical priorities:
✔️ Continued funding for Air Traffic Control modernization, helping build a safer, more efficient, and more resilient aviation system.
✔️ Protecting essential FAA services during government shutdowns, ensuring the safety and stability of our national airspace system regardless of political challenges.
In total, NATA advocates conducted more than 60 meetings with lawmakers and staff to discuss aviation safety, airport access, infrastructure, and policies that support the thousands of businesses and jobs our industry creates across the country.
Business aviation is much more than airplanes. It supports local economies, connects communities, enables emergency response, and creates opportunities for businesses large and small.
We are proud to have our CEO representing both Florida and Malone AirCharter while helping advocate for a safer, stronger future for aviation.🇺🇸✈️
