The National Business Aviation Association ( NBAA ) is a professional association and lobbying group for private business aviation. [1]

Overview [ edit ]

NBAA is set up as a 501(c)(6) non-profit entity. NBAA organizes conferences and seminars. [2]

Edward M. Bolen has been the president and CEO of NBAA since September 7, 2004. [3] The organization's Board of Directors includes Chairman Lloyd Newton of L3 Technologies, Inc. and Vice Chair/Treasurer Elizabeth Dornak of DuPont Aviation. [4]

Opposition to air traffic control privatization [ edit ]

NBAA's public policy initiatives in 2018 centered on the organization's opposition to air traffic control privatization. [5] The matter was debated in 2018 as part of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) congressional reauthorization process. Various proposals for extracting and privatizing air traffic control (ATC) were debated. [6] NBAA's opposition to ATC privatization was motivated by the potential lack of representation on the AANS board (the proposed directors who would oversee a privatized ATC system). [7] "Critics say that, given where the members are drawn from, the board would end up controlled by airline-related interests. They worry that the focus would accordingly be on the major airline corridors, with rural airports and users becoming second-class (or maybe third- or fourth-class) citizens." [7] Ultimately, the FAA reauthorization was passed without including any ATC privatization measures. [8]

Taxation [ edit ]

The organization supported tax rules in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act for deduction of business aircraft costs in the first year (also known as "immediate expensing"). [9]

In 2024, the NBAA opposed an Internal Revenue Service crackdown on tax write-offs for private jet travel. [10]
