The National Air Transportation Association

Born in late December 1940, in Kansas City, Mo., the National Air Transportation Association has been long been a voice for business aviation including private air charter companies. With the looming threat of war, the US proposed to ground all private flying in December of 1940. A group representing private aviation met in Kansas City and banded together to speak out against the government‘s intentions. NATA has had a major positive impact on the business jet charter community through their representation on a federal level.

Today, NATA is tasked with lobbying and tracking key legislation that would affect the private air charter community. Standing committees within NATA, comprised of experienced and knowledgeable members, meet regularly to address the important issues facing the business jet charter community. The association’s current membership is nearly 2000 companies strong. Executive Fliteways has been a NATA member since 1983 and in an ongoing effort to protect the interests of private air charter, Executive Fliteways President John Grillo has worked within NATA on the Air Charter committee. Mr. Grillo has also worked on the Training sub-committee in an effort to raise the levels of training and experience amongst the private jet charter member companies.
