The Air Charter Association has joined the Climbing. Fast. campaign, an international initiative aimed at improving understanding of business aviation among policymakers and opinion leaders.

The partnership is due to be announced at the association’s European Regional Forum during AERO Friedrichshafen later this month.

Since its launch in 2023, the Climbing. Fast. campaign has developed a multimedia platform including a dedicated website, social channels, media outreach and advocacy resources aimed at building awareness around the sector, and is designed to inform policymakers and opinion leaders about business aviation’s contribution to jobs, economic development, connectivity and humanitarian operations, as well as its role in advancing more sustainable aviation.

“As we continue to expand our presence across the US, initiatives like Climbing. Fast. ensure we can better coordinate our air charter advocacy efforts with our industry partners,” says Glenn Hogben, chief executive, the ACA. “The air charter industry is a significant driver of employment, economic growth and technological innovation around the world, and it is important we continue to get that message across.”

“NBAA is excited to welcome The Air Charter Association as a Climbing. Fast. partner,” says Ed Bolen, president and CEO, National Business Aviation Association. “Business aviation is a global industry, and having The ACA aboard will strengthen our international presence and expand our opportunities for advocacy.”
