EASA is reviewing operational rules for (small-size) aeroplane operators, and your input can shape the outcome. Whether you operate small aircraft, run cost-sharing platforms, or fly larger jets, this survey is your chance to influence future regulation. Open until 30 May.

EBAA is pleased to launch its new compliance guide on the refuelling obligations set out in the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation (EU 2023/2405). This user-friendly document is designed to support business aviation operators in navigating the complexities of the antitankering and reporting provisions introduced by the regulation.

Following the entry into force of the ReFuelEU Regulation in January 2025, several European business aviation operators have started to voice concerns over the operational issues with the implementation of the regulation’s Article 5, forbidding fuel tankering at Union airports and requiring burdensome administrative requirements. EBAA has gathered a group of expert members’ operators to help the association shape arguments in view of the ReFuelEU review in 2027 and assist other members with compliance.

Safety in business aviation isn’t about ticking boxes—it’s about trust, awareness, and human judgment. In a world of constant change, rigid compliance alone can’t prevent incidents. True safety lives in cultures where people speak up, adapt, and own responsibility. It’s time to stop managing people as risks—and start empowering them as our greatest safety asset.

EBAA has responded to EASA's NPA 2024-106, advocating for realistic FTL rules tailored to business aviation. Key concerns include acclimatisation, standby duty, and preserving operational flexibility without compromising safety. EBAA continues to engage with EASA to shape fair, data-driven fatigue management regulations.

In this document prepared by EBAA France, you will find two articles—one in English and one in French—providing an overview of the Solidarity Tax (TS) on Air Passenger Transport as applied in 2025. The articles clarify the distinction between TS and the TTAP tax surcharge, the applicability of TS to commercial helicopter flights, and the correct tax rates for non-scheduled air services. Additionally, they outline key exemptions, such as medical evacuation flights and employee travel for work purposes. These updates ensure compliance with the latest French aviation tax regulations.

EBAA, alongside a broad coalition of aviation associations has co-signed a letter urging the European Commission to introduce further flexibilities to the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation...

“2025 marks a transitional year as EBAA takes on the running of EBACE and we have an exciting vision for the show’s future.
