Shoreline Aviation sponsors 11th MBAA Aviation Day at KBED
Shoreline Aviation once again served as a main sponsor of the annual event designed to bring aviation business associates from throughout New England together for their special networking day.
The Massachusetts Business Aviation Association (MBAA) held its 11th Annual Aviation Day on May 15. Over 300 business aviation owners, operators, executives, and service providers came together at Jet Aviation in Hangar #17, Hanscom Field (KBED), Bedford, Massachusetts.

“We created this event to bring aviation professionals together from around the New England area about 10 years ago,” explained MBAA President Dave Richter. “At that point we had about seven aircraft and 10 booths and 150 people showed up. Tonight in 2024 we have 10 more aircraft, 20 booths and over 325 people here.
“A major purpose of the event is these aviation professionals can get to know each other on a personal level, talk about aviation together, and enjoy each other’s company.”

Shoreline was represented by Chief Pilot Wes Harris, Charter Operations Manager Patrick Olson, Flight Logistician Logan Timpany, and Sales and Operations Specialist Peter Bukuras. And the Shoreline team clearly agrees with Dave Richter.
“We’ve been coming for the past couple of years, and we definitely see success here just meeting clients and brokers who use our services, meet them upfront and in person,” Pete Bukuras said. “It’s always good to see familiar faces, people that we talk with on the phone daily.”
