Cortney A. Robinson joined AIA’s Civil Aviation Division as the Director of Civil Aviation Infrastructure in August 2010. He is responsible for AIA’s activities on civil aviation issues and policy, specifically the areas of air traffic management, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), spectrum management, and overall NextGen planning and implementation.

Mr. Robinson came to AIA after working for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). At the FAA, he spent most of his years as an Economist. His primary duty was analysis for the agency’s series of reports on the economic impact of civil aviation on the U.S. economy.

Mr. Robinson’s work is inherently international and his representation of the global aerospace industry has allowed him to develop working relationships with United Nations organizations and foreign governments.

Mr. Robinson graduated with a B.S. in Economics in 2000 and M.P.P. with a focus in international policy in 2001.
