Airlines for America (
A4A) advocates on behalf of the American airline industry as a model of safety, customer service and environmental responsibility and as the indispensable network that drives our nation's economy and global competitiveness.
"The
A4A project has been completed, done and dusted, built and paid for.
"An expanding economy, employment gains and surging household net worth are also contributing to the growth in demand for air travel,"
A4A Chief Economist John Heimlich said in a statement.
On April Fool's Day 2015, the
A4A formally petitioned the FAA for a five-year exemption from a portion of the January 1, 2020, mandate to equip with Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast, the "ADS-B" we've all been hearing and writing about lately.
Some of the projects supported by
A4A include the deployment of ground radar at major airports, the promotion of sharing of safety data by carriers and their employees with the FAA and the establishment of a risk-based inspection system for aircraft repair stations located overseas.
A4A, with 80 employees, offers services ranging from digital strategy to e-marketing and media investment management, the buyer said in a statement.
The
A4A pilot program shifted from traditional Army development practices by using the latest in agile development methods, all the while focusing on rapid deployment.
He said: "We have supported
A4A and its ethos for sustainable design.
Additionally, via promotion on popular websites like myspace, YouTube and facebook, GuluWalk connected to thousands and eventually netted for
A4A more than 15,000 unique email addresses.
