The Air Transport Industry in Guyana has made tremendous contributions to Guyana's economic growth. This industry has enabled the development of Guyana's interior and engendered the growth of sectors such as mining, forestry and tourism - all significant contributors to the nation's treasury. Additionally, and as important, the industry has also provided a lifeline to otherwise unreachable communi
ties and life-saving services to thousands of cases in medical emergencies who were far away from appropriate medical care. Despite the tremendous contributions by the aviation industry there was need for broad based representation of all aviation stakeholders. The National Air Transport Association (NATA), which was officially launched on the 11th November, 2015 is Guyana's first broad based Aviation Association which will amalgamate the views, interests and needs of all aviation stakeholders. This unprecedented association will include Pilots, Engineers, Air Traffic Controllers, Mechanics, Flight Operations Personnel, Ramp Attendants, Administrators, Flight Attendants, Owners, Operators, Aviation Medical and Legal Personnel and a diaspora association of Guyanese Professional Aviators.
