Yes, GENAV is a large industry that provides vital services needed for the economic growth of the country. GENAV doesn't include Airline Operations which is a distinct entity by itself although it forms part of the entire aviation industry. With the fast improving Philippine economy we hope to see more proactive and progressive General Aviation Industry in the near future.
