AOPA President Craig Fuller met with a group of Democratic governors Nov. 9 in Philadelphia to encourage the leaders to invest in their states' aviation infrastructure.
The governors came together from as far west as Montana and as far east as New Hampshire to discuss critical infrastructure investment, the importance of small airports, and the role of states in supporting the national air transportation system.
"The airports that dot the countryside from coast to coast in America are not just isolated fields," Fuller said, explaining afterward why he reached out to governors to help support general aviation. "Each one is part of a national network, and together they add up to the world's best aviation system. By investing in airports and other aviation infrastructure at the state level, governors can do their part to make sure the air transportation system continues to serve Americans in communities of all sizes in their states and beyond."
