President’s Message – Working for you behind the scenes
01/04/2024

 

Canadian business aviation professionals are busy. They may have a flight department to run or a plane to fly from A to B. They may be overseeing an FBO operation, selling aircraft or providing important support services to a fleet of business jets.  

With these everyday priorities, it’s easy to lose sight of the big picture for business aviation: What’s happening on Parliament Hill that affects our industry? How will business aviation connect with incoming leaders after the next federal election? How do wages in our sector compare across the country? How will the luxury tax affect your new aircraft purchase?  

That’s where we come in. Here at CBAA, our team works behind the scenes as the voice of Canadian business aviation. We speak on your behalf in Ottawa and across the country, so the benefits of business aviation and its importance as an economic driver are never overlooked.  

Our success is built upon strong relationships cultivated with regulators, politicians and civil servants who impact our industry. At the same time, we work to further strengthen CBAA’s value proposition for you, our members.  

In 2023, we logged several important “wins”. 

As 2024 unfolds, our team’s unparalleled industry knowledge and expertise will be working for you: deciphering regulatory developments, tracking market movements and identifying important innovations. We’ll be rolling out webinars, seminars and conferences to keep our industry connected, offering you valuable information and can’t-miss networking opportunities. Finally, we’ll continue to play a leading role in advocating proven safety standards and operational best practices.  

As always, I thank you for your support and I encourage you to get involved with CBAA. Our voice is always louder when we speak as one.  

Anthony Norejko  

President and CEO
