Last month at the British Business and General Aviation Association (BBGA) annual conference in London, Cessna vice president of corporate communication Robert Stangarone emphasized the need for the industry to continue communicating the value and benefits of business aviation. “Everyone in our industry should consider himself [an] ambassador,” he said. “Business aircraft are used in so many valuable ways and have truly become essential to the global transportation system. We need to take every opportunity to spread that message to the world.” Stangarone further said that “protecting our image is a common goal” that can be done on both sides of the Atlantic. “As an industry we’re a force with strong points to make and a solid strategy,” he said. “We’re making good headway but we have to keep working.”
