Alliance for Sustainable Air Transportation

Dear Members:

We want to update you on several important ASAT events that took place last week.

On Wednesday, July 16, ASAT co-founder Traver Gruen-Kennedy addressed an audience at the Farnborough International Airshow (http://www.farnborough.com/Site/Content/intro.aspx) just outside London, as part of the event's Sustainable Aviation panel. "Greener" aviation was an important theme at the Airshow, and his remarks were well received by attendees and representatives of major media outlets. The panel also included executives from equipment manufacturers, international airlines, the media and other air transportation industry organizations.

Read the ASAT press release about the event (http://sustainableair.org/docs/ASAT_2008_07_17.pdf).

The following day, co-founder David Hayzlett represented ASAT at a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Media Briefing led by Acting Administrator Bobby Sturgell. The Acting Administrator introduced David, along with representatives from DayJet, Helicopter Association International, and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, three other partner organizations that are working with the FAA to make NextGen a reality. Sturgell praised ASAT for building awareness with the states, the private sector, and the industry to help advance NextGen technologies.
