KCBAA Board Members Meet with Aviation Leaders from Indonesia

Members of the KCBAA Board met with aviation leaders from Indonesia on Monday to discuss aviation best practices and differences between the United States and their home country. These individuals are hand-picked by the US Embassy to participate in a high-profile International Visitor Leadership program.

 

Topics discussed were: aviation outlook and landscape post-pandemic, introduction of eVTOL aircraft in the region as well as the importance of cybersecurity and personal data protection. Members also discussed SAF (sustainable aviation fuel), as Indonesia as one company that is testing SAF and working through the refinery process to make it more readily available to operations.

We are grateful to Global Ties KC for putting this meeting together, and allowing us to share ideas with our international colleagues. We wish them success on the remainder of their time in the States, and look forward to hopefully meeting again in the future.
