Aviation Day-on-the-Hill

On May 7, ATAC and five other national aviation associations (CAC, CBAA, COPA, HAC and NACC) co-hosted a Day-on-the-Hill Reception in the Wellington Parliament Building. Over 165 guests participated, including 36 MPs and 24 staffers. This gave the host associations a unique opportunity to inform MPs of key aviation issues.
