The NAIA is the organization in each country that represents the interests of the aerospace industry, e.g. AIA in the USA , AIAD in Italy , ATECMA in Spain , BDLI in Germany , GEBECOMA in Belgium , GIFAS in France , NAI in the Netherlands , SAI in Sweden , SBAC in the UK , SJAC and JAA in Japan , etc.
