Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters and Maverick Helicopters joined Ann Carroll, HAI’s vice president of government affairs, for two days of meetings on Capitol Hill this week with Members of Congress from Arizona and Nevada to discuss air tour industry concerns related to incentives for quiet aircraft technology and air tour operations over Grand Canyon National Park.
Geoff Edlund, Alan Stephen, and John Becker of Papillon, and Brian Brusa and John Buch of Maverick personally met with Arizona Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake as well as Nevada Senator Dean Heller, Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.) and Congressman Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.). The group also met with congressional staff for many other congressional offices, resulting in extremely productive meetings that will foster and promote a continued strong cooperative relationship within the halls of Congress.
