The Alliance for Aviation Across America continues to expand its campaign to help raise awareness of&nbsp;the importance of general aviation around the nation, most recently working with the state of Indiana on a proclamation declaring December general aviation appreciation month. That declaration was among more than 80 proclamations issued&nbsp;and resolutions adopted at the state and local level around the nation over the past year to highlight the importance of the industry.

 


Indiana Governor&nbsp;Eric Holcomb signed the proclamation, stating general aviation and community airports “play a critical role in the lives of our citizens, as well as in the operation of our businesses and farms.” Noting the state is home to 117 public-use airports serving 10,396 pilots and 4,914 based aircraft, the proclamation states Indiana depends heavily&nbsp;on general aviation and community airports for the flow of commerce, tourists, and visitors. “General aviation is vital to many businesses in Indiana…to increase productivity, reach far-off markets, and move personnel, equipment, and products,” it added.

 


That proclamation followed a similar declaration naming&nbsp;November general aviation appreciation month in Maryland, as well as local proclamations in Idaho, North Carolina, and Indiana, the Alliance said.
