<IMG hspace="8" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.avweb.com/newspics/trafficjets.jpg" />When the air traffic system clogged up along the East Coast last Friday, a spokesman for the Air Transport Association told the media 
that general aviation is a significant cause of delays. "Nothing could be further from the truth," says Dan Hubbard, spokesman for the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA). "Almost all delays 
are caused by weather and the commercial airlines themselves." He added that the number of turbine business aircraft in the U.S., which the airlines blame for system congestion, is deceptive because 
the figure overlooks the fact that turbine business aircraft average only about 370 flight hours per year -- less than 10 percent of the average flight hours logged by an airliner.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E4E24DD2-3E73-4472-A29E-74B010E6618F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
