VAI Flight Report: What’s the most important number for VAI members? VAI exists because of—and for—our members. We work every day to help you thrive. In the April 2025 VAI Flight Report video, VAI COO Mike Hertzendorf walks through some highlights of the association’s recent accomplishments on members’ behalf, including how VAI was able to mobilize its members to send 96,000 emails to keep open an important heliport in New York City. Or how VAI stopped a Hawaii bill that would have required that state’s air tour operators to carry liability insurance of $20 million per person. But the most important number, Hertzendorf reminds viewers, is this: in addition to robust legislative and regulatory support, VAI offers 30-plus member benefits—programs that help you connect with your peers across this global industry and meet upcoming regulatory mandates, to name just two examples. Watch this month’s video to learn how you can get more from your VAI membership! Not a VAI member? Join VAI today and start enjoying the many benefits our members receive!
