Safety in business aviation isn’t just manuals or dashboards — it lives in everyday decisions, vigilance, and the courage to speak up. Our fast, flexible, high-pressure operations demand that safety belongs to everyone, not a single department.

The EU–U.S. trade agreement imposes a 15% tariff on most goods — but aviation doesn't fall under that. Aircraft, aircraft engines, and parts remain zero-tariff, ensuring transatlantic supply chains.

This spring, EASA launched an impact assessment survey as part of the rulemaking task RMT.0392, as outlined in the EBAA industry update from 10/02/2023 (link to https://www.ebaa.org/industry-updates/european-plan-for-aviation-safety-2023-2025-epas-impact-on-business-aviation/). The aim is to review the existing Complex Motor-Powered Aircraft (CMPA) criteria under Regulation (EU) 965/2012 and explore more relevant, balanced alternatives. The survey closed on 27 June 2025. We hope many of you had the chance to share your views.

On the 9th of June the European legislature has entered into its first year of tenure, with the Commission currently focusing on developing new proposals, in line with its 2025 Work Programme, as well as reviewing existing pieces of legislation that are deemed to need a refit.
