TOMORROW'S WEBINAR
 

Health safety, rebuilding travelers’ trust and navigating the competitive landscape are currently at the forefront of conversations surrounding the air transport industry.

  • How are US LCCs faring against the majors in the US domestic market?
  • What is the status of cargo operations within the context of the pandemic?
  • What is the long-term impact and potential market distortions of government financial aid packages?
George Novak shares his insight into these questions and more. His more than 30-year career in aviation includes joining NACA as President in 2018 and posts at the Aerospace Industries Association, the George Washing University and the FAA.

The National Air Carrier Association (NACA) represents 15 US airlines providing non-scheduled and scheduled passenger and cargo services in North America and around the globe. They include LCCs like Spirit Airlines, Allegiant, Frontier Airlines and Sun Country, and cargo operators like Atlas, Kalitta and Amerijet.

Join Aviation Week Network for an interactive webinar focusing on the health and safety rules the air transport industry is implementing, including NACA’s own SAFETY principles.
