For many years, but especially since leaders of the big three U.S. automakers failed to defend their use of business jets while testifying before Congress, business aviation has been under attack by ill-informed politicians and the public. The No Plane No Gain joint advocacy campaign by the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) is designed to highlight the value of business aviation to citizens, companies and communities. Its goal is to inform and educate the public, government and the general media about the power of mobility and how business aviation is a multiplier of company resources and competitiveness.
Through the No Plane No Gain website, the current program provides examples of how NBAA members can answer and counteract mainstream media bias against general aviation, and specifically how to respond to stories and broadcasts that contain factual inaccuracies and untrue or misleading statements.
