The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) joined with seven other aviation groups in welcoming an updated study detailing the robust contributions of general aviation to the U.S. economy.
Conducted by PwC US Tax LLP, the updated study determined that general aviation (GA) supports 1,330,200 jobs and $339.2 billion in total economic output in the U.S. Both figures are sizable increases over an initial PricewaterhouseCoopers study conducted five years ago.
“This study powerfully demonstrates general aviation’s essential and growing role in creating jobs, supporting economic activity, connecting communities and helping companies of all sizes succeed, nationally and in every state,” said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. “This authoritative report will be valuable in our industry’s work to educate policymakers and opinion leaders about the sector’s size and central role in the nation’s economy and transportation system.”
