Over its 77 years of existence, VAI has grown from a group of 15 operators based in one US state to a truly global organization with thousands of members in more than 60 countries. One of our top priorities is strengthening collaboration across that global community. Because it’s only by working together that we’ll successfully face our challenges, including elevating safety and integrating new technology and aircraft into our airspace. Watch this edition of François’s Aviation Reflections to learn about where VAI is heading, including to Bali in May for its first Southeast Asia Aviation Safety Conference. And of course, we hope to see you at VERTICON 2026 in Atlanta!
