Airlines for America (A4A), has announced that Andy Cebula has been named Vice President, NextGen and New Entrants. Cebula brings to the association more than three decades of transportation policy experience in safety, security and air traffic control.<\/p>\n
Through this new position, Cebula will manage A4A\u2019s efforts to further NextGen results by working with other organizations to enhance the Federal Aviation Administration\u2019s (FAA) effort to implement NextGen technologies. He also will focus on new entrants and advocate on behalf of commercial aviation\u2019s interests in that arena.<\/p>\n
Cebula joins A4A from RTCA where he served as Senior Vice President, Policy and Programs. In that role, he managed the creation and on-going operation of two federal advisory committees: the NextGen Advisory Committee that has generated nearly 30 key recommendations and reports addressing the future of the aviation system and the Tactical Operations Committee which was designed to address key issues affecting airline and other aircraft operations. His professional experience also includes positions at the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, the FAA and the National Air Transport Association.<\/p>\n
\u201cAndy brings a unique perspective to this newly created position. He is a respected industry voice and has strong relationships throughout the aviation community, the federal agencies and Congress,\u201d said A4A President and CEO Nicholas E. Calio.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has a broad range of experience within the aviation community and a track record of working with multiple constituents to foster positive outcomes. Having been most recently with RTCA and managing the NextGen Advisory Committee (NAC), Andy is intimately familiar with the NextGen process,\u201d continued Calio. \u201cHis experience will be valuable to advancing A4A\u2019s efforts to help the FAA achieve positive results from its ongoing NextGen implementation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI look forward to joining the team at A4A and working with a wide range of organizations in the industry and government to develop and implement strategies necessary for a successful transition into the future. Commercial aviation is and will continue to be a critical driver of quality jobs and overall economic growth for our country,\u201d said Cebula.<\/p>\n
Cebula holds a B.S. degree in Aviation Management from Auburn University. He will begin on Nov. 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
