The GA Avgas Coalition, made up of GAMA and five other industry stakeholder While the economic environment is critical to the health and growth of general aviation manufacturing; so too are policies and regulations around the globe. The industrys ability to endure and thrive depends on pro-growth, pro-manufacturing policies and regulations that foster innovation, reward sustainability, and facilitate investment in general aviation airplanes. Industry and government must work together to ensure that laws and regulations will promote manufacturing, resulting in greater economic stability, industry investment and jobs. Increased manufacturing production creates tremendous economic activity through the multiplier effect and its linkage to other parts of economies. As we look to 2011 and beyond, GAMA will work hard to foster an environment that is more conducive to the creation, application and protection of policies that fuel our industry.inDUsTrY oUTlook20112010 GaMa STATISTICAL DATABOOK corporate and executive flying (flying with a paid, professional crew); and business transportation (individual use of an airplane without a paid, professional crew).
