The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) recently welcomed seven new members, including several companies in the advanced air mobility realm, as well as aftermarket and maintenance businesses. These additions bring the total number of memberships to 154.
New GAMA members include Everett, Washington-based BLR Aerospace and Victory Lane Aviation (VLA), an MRO provider headquartered in Concord, North Carolina. VLA is a Garmin dealer and an authorized service center for Epic, Piper, Textron, and Icon aircraft. BLR, which was acquired by aerospace supplier Ducommun International in 2023, develops performance-enhancing aftermarket products for airplanes and rotorcraft. 
Autonomous flight system developer Skyryse and delivery drone operator Wing, both based in California, are joining GAMA’s associate membership, a category that GAMA created in 2015 to represent hybrid and electric technologies.
Alaka'i Technologies and Crisalion, two companies developing eVTOL aircraft, as well as aircraft battery producer Cuberg have joined the association as “associate members EPIC,” a base-level category that enables participation on GAMA’s Electric Propulsion & Innovation Committee (EPIC).
