Celebrating 50 Years of New York Aviation Leadership

In 2026, the New York Aviation Management Association proudly marks its 50th Anniversary.
For five decades, NYAMA has brought together airport leaders, aviation professionals, and partners from across New York State to strengthen our aviation system, support economic growth, and promote safe, reliable access to our communities.


As we celebrate this milestone, we honor the leaders who built this organization—and look ahead to the next chapter of collaboration, advocacy, and innovation in New York aviation.
Throughout 2026, NYAMA will highlight this legacy while continuing its mission to serve members, engage policymakers, and advance the role of airports statewide.

Celebrating 50 Years: Honoring Our Legacy. Advancing Our Future Since 1976

Thank You for Celebrating 50 Years of NYAMA!

Thank you to our members, sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, legislative partners, and planning committee for making NYAMA’s 2026 Fall Conference and 50th Anniversary Celebration in Watkins Glen so memorable.

From meaningful discussions about the future of aviation to celebrating the people who shaped our association, this year’s gathering honored five decades of leadership, advocacy, and connection. We were especially honored to welcome founder Bill Shea, who traveled across the country to share his reflections and receive NYAMA’s Founder’s Award.

Your participation and support strengthen New York’s aviation community. Thank you for being part of our history—and helping shape our next chapter!
