Welcome:
The Michigan Business Aviation Association (MBAA) was founded in 1998

MBAA Objectives:
The Association is dedicated to the promotion and advocacy of the importance
of business air travel to the state’s economy and the importance
of sufficient funding to preserve, develop and assure safety at Michigan
airports.
The Association recognizes the need to improve the understanding and
importance of aviation by state and local officials. The Association
will strive to improve this understanding and the relationship between
government and aviation users.
Our Relationship With NBAA:
Our relationship with NBAA (National Business Aviation Association)
is synergistic – that is, we compliment each other. We are both
earnestly involved with similar aviation issues. The primary difference
however, is that while NBAA is structured to address business aviation
issues on a national level MBAA is focused on Michigan issues at a grassroots
level. We believe both associations perform a vital service to the business
aircraft community.
NBAA can be considered to be a “macro” version of MBAA.
Because of its national scope, NBAA is able to hold only one national
meeting a year. Consequently, local concerns and issues are not addressed.
The national association recognized this aspect and subsequently has
been a strong influence in organizing local associations, such as the
MBAA.
We make a determined effort to maintain a direct line of communication
with NBAA. In fact, we are fortunate to have Mr. Bob Quinn, the Central
Regional NBAA Representative on the MBAA Board. He is our primary liaison
to the national organization. NBAA is a terrific association and we
at MBAA recommend that you consider membership in both organizations
concurrently.
