PENNSYLVANIA CONGRESSMAN BILL SHUSTER RE- CEIVES AOPA’S HARTRANFT AWARD
U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster (R-PA) was recently presented with the 2014 Joseph B. Hartranft Jr. Award — one of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association’s (AOPA) highest honors — for his unparalleled work on behalf of general aviation in the U.S. Congress. The Hartranft award is presented annually to an elected or appointed government official – whether in federal, state, local or a foreign government – who has made significant contributions to the advancement of general aviation. It is named after AOPA’s first president and former chairman of the board, “Doc” Hartranft. Rep. Shuster is the chairman of the U.S. House of
Representative’s Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and a member of the General Aviation Caucus. “Rep. Shuster is a strong supporter of general aviation
and a key AOPA ally in Congress,” says AOPA President Mark Baker. “He understands general aviation’s important role in our economy and national transportation system, and we’re grateful for his leadership on critical issues important to general aviation.” Shuster’s committee this year will take up Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization legislation. Under Shuster’s stewardship, the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee expedited approval of the Small Airplane Revitalization Act and approved legislation requiring the FAA to go through the rulemaking process before implementing policy changes related to sleep disorders. Shuster supported the aviation community when the
FAA arbitrarily sought to close air traffic control contract towers during the 2013 budget sequestration battle, and he has opposed both the imposition of air traffic control fees at major aviation events and proposed per-flight FAA user fees. Shuster represents the Ninth Congressional District in southwestern Pennsylvania and has served on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee since 2001. His state is home to 131 public use airports – including nine in his district – that overall contribute $23.6 billion in annual revenue to Pennsylvania’s economy.

since 2007, Liu succeeds France’s Raymond Benjamin, who has served as the organization’s leader since 2009. “NBAA welcomes Dr. Liu to her new position with
ICAO,” says NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. “Her many years of experience in international aviation give her an informed perspective on the many complex issues facing the global aviation industry. “Business aviation has always been global in nature,”
continues Bolen. “However, with more NBAA Member Companies than ever operating outside the U.S., ICAO’s role as a global aviation policy body is increasingly important to our industry. NBAA, which works with ICAO through the International Business Aviation Council, looks forward to engaging Dr. Liu on the issues that impact business aviation worldwide.” For two decades beginning in 1987, Liu was a mainstay at the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), serving as legal counsel, deputy director and director. She also was deputy director general at the CAAC’s Department of International Affairs and Cooperation, where she dealt extensively with ICAO and several other international organizations on matters of aviation policy, international air transport regulation and development, as well as air services negotiations on behalf of the Chinese government. She also served a four-year term as chair of the Aviation Group for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) group.
