EBAA Ambassador Programme 2025: Strengthening business aviation’s voice

Launching in June, the programme empowers ambassadors to engage with EU policymakers and industry leaders. A Brussels workshop will offer hands-on advocacy training and strategic networking opportunities. Ambassadors play a vital role in advancing business aviation at both national and European levels.

The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) is launching the EBAA Ambassador Programme for 2025, a key initiative designed to enhance high-level networking opportunities and strengthen advocacy efforts at both the European and national levels. This year, the programme empowers ambassadors to engage directly with EBAA board members and key stakeholders, building strong partnerships to move business aviation forward.

The first major event of the programme will take place in June in Brussels, bringing together ambassadors, industry leaders, and policymakers for a practical and strategic workshop. This session will give practical insight into how EU policymaking works and how to engage effectively with decision-makers.

The workshop will provide an in-depth look at how the European Commission, European Parliament, and the Council of the EU operate and how business aviation stakeholders can effectively navigate the policy process. Participants will gain insights into the best moments to engage in the policy cycle and the current EU policy priorities relevant to business aviation.

A central theme of the workshop will be enhancing advocacy at the national level. Engagement with national policymakers and regulators is vital. It is essential that business aviation’s interests are reflected in policy. The session will provide clear guidance on aligning national strategies with EU-level objectives, drawing on case studies and input from EBAA Ambassadors and industry experts.

After the workshop, participants will attend a private networking reception at The Apartment Brussels. This event will facilitate in-depth conversations about the future of business aviation and opportunities to forge new partnerships.

EBAA Ambassadors are instrumental in raising awareness of business aviation’s role in driving connectivity, sustainability and economic growth across Europe. To highlight their contributions, a new testimonial video will share their insights and highlight their advocacy and industry expertise.

Beyond the event, EBAA is committed to supporting ambassadors throughout the year. This includes visits to discuss the latest EBAA activities and explore opportunities for deeper collaboration in 2025.
