In the United States, general aviation
supports nearly 1.2 million jobs and a
total of $246.8 billion in economic output.
In Europe, general aviation supports nearly
400,000 jobs and a total of $87 million in
economic output. These are significant figures
that should not be overlooked. Reckless
rhetoric recently voiced by a few government
officials in Europe regarding the limiting
or banning general aviation aircraft has
a significant effect on jobs and economic
output, even indirectly.
Our dedicated workforce is a large part of
the reason that our industry has been able
to strategically navigate the pandemic. We
are seeing robust interest in general aviation
aircraft and flight activity has been
thriving. As we welcome this growth, we
will also need to grow our workforce, which
includes new maintenance technicians to
meet operator and MRO demand to maintain
the growing fleet.
For years, our industry has been prioritizing
several initiatives to improve efficiency
and mitigate our industry's impact on the
environment, which includes reducing CO2
emissions. We have been at the forefront of
developing technological improvements to
aircraft configuration, aerodynamics, systems,
materials and engine technologies
which result in more efficient wing, rotor,
fuselage, engine design and operations.
According to the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) 2019
Environmental Report, global business
aviation operations represent 0.04% of
CO2
emissions caused by human activity.
Although this represents a minuscule fraction
of overall emissions, our industry has
kept a keen focus on reducing this footprint.
A great example of this is our strengthened
commitment to environmental sustainability
with an aggressive goal of net-zero
carbon emissions by 2050 and continued
technology improvements.
We are furthering revolutionary innovations
like hybrid, electric and hydrogenpowered
aircraft. These technological
advancements are bolstering our industry's
sustainability commitments to improve the
fuel efficiency of aircraft and reduce emissions.
Not only do these advancements

serve as the testbed for what could likely
be scaled up for commercial aviation, but
they also create more opportunities for our
workforce to expand.
With a better understanding of our industry's
societal and economic importance, our
sustainability goals and the technological
advances that are on the horizon, one can
fully understand the global importance of
general and business aviation. While criticisms
of the industry are shortsighted, it is
important that we do not veer off course
and continue to showcase the importance
of our hardworking industry.
