Ed Bolen, president and CEO, NBAA said the associations had forged “a very strong relationship” over decades working together to promote business aviation in Europe, the US and around the world. “We look forward to continuing that relationship as we work together in all aspects of business aviation, including safety, sustainability, innovation, workforce development and security,” said Bolen.

The financial terms of the purchase agreement were not disclosed.
