Since 2008, the North Texas Business Aviation Association (NTBAA) has been bringing together the growing North Texas Business Aviation Community to network, educate, mentor, share best practices, and represent the interests of the business aviation industry. This group is made up of local flight operations, manufacturers and associated business aviation vendors, suppliers, and service providers, and it creates a platform to interact with policy makers and officials whose decisions affect this industry. It also brings those in the North Texas area together for a free exchange of ideas and concerns to foster both professional and educational opportunities.
