The CLIMBING. FAST. campaign has been recognized with two advocacy awards for its use of digital media to highlight business aviation’s many societal benefits, including the sector’s sustainability leadership.
From among thousands of submissions for its 2025 Digital Awards, PRNEWS chose CLIMBING. FAST. as the top recipient in the Cause-Related Campaign category. In addition, the advocacy program received an honorable mention in the 2025 PRNEWS Digital Awards for excellence as a unified, branded effort supported by multiple organizations.
CLIMBING. FAST. is a multi-media advocacy initiative that educates policymakers and opinion leaders about business aviation’s essential role in supporting jobs and economic activity, connecting communities, helping businesses succeed, providing humanitarian support and leading the way in aviation sustainability through innovation, on the ground and in the air.

“The success of CLIMBING. FAST. is attributable to the support of more than a dozen aviation associations and their member representatives worldwide who share the passion for business aviation’s value to citizens and companies globally,” said Kurt Edwards, director general, International Business Aviation Council. “Business aviation is climbing fast toward a sustainable future and playing an essential role in efficiently connecting communities, creating economic opportunities, and fostering innovation.”
Since the campaign’s launch in October 2023, CLIMBING. FAST. partners have led a focused effort to drive the campaign’s message through news coverage, multiplatform advertising, social media and direct communication with congressional lawmakers.
The program most recently mobilized business aviation advocates from across the country for face-to-face meetings on Capitol Hill to discuss legislative proposals critical to the industry, and to remind House and Senate members of business aviation’s essential role in supporting 1.3 million jobs and nearly $340 billion in economic output. See a short video recap of the fly-in.
