Attendance Up at Annual Bizav Convention

The National Business Aviation Association attracted 1,083 exhibitors to its 63rd annual meeting and convention in Atlanta last week, eight more than last year. Attendee registration, meanwhile, rose more than 5 percent from 2009 to 24,206. "This year's convention clearly underscored [the fact that] in spite of the challenges confronting business aviation in the past two years, people and companies are optimistic and forward-looking," said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen.
