The National Air Transportation Association has teamed up with Keller Giles Group to help guide members through specific tactical and strategic regulatory issues such as safety management systems (SMS).
Led by president and CEO Stefan Keller and COO Carol Giles, KGG brings expertise in a range of issues involving the FAA, flight operations, certification, SMS, and repair stations. Beyond SMS, KGG can assist in areas such as certificate approvals and consolidation, engineering, operations, inspections, and unmanned aircraft.
“Through this arrangement, NATA is connecting our members with trusted, strategic partners like KGG who will provide services to help both NATA members and the association more effectively and efficiently achieve their missions—a winning combination,” said NATA president and CEO Curt Castagna.
NATA COO Keith DeBerry noted that the group has extensive knowledge in designing, implementing, and improving safety systems. “They understand industry best practices, regulatory requirements, and can apply this expertise to a business’ specific needs.”
Giles previously worked with the association as a liaison to its maintenance committee and is a contributor to NATA's Aviation Business Journal. Under her leadership, the maintenance committee developed the Part 135 conformity inspection checklist for the FAA, which led to an advisory circular providing guidance on placing aircraft into Part 135 commuter and on-demand service.
