On November 28, 2024, Paul Walsh addressed sustainability at the SPBAA’s “Flying Into the Future of Business Aviation in Spain 2024” forum in Madrid. This event highlighted the industry’s need to lead in environmental responsibility and innovation. EBAA presented the STARS programme, a framework promoting measurable sustainability practices, and emphasized collaboration between European and national associations like SPBAA to drive meaningful action locally and align with broader European goals.

The past five years marked a turbulent era for European business aviation, driven by the Covid-19 pandemic and its aftermath. While activity surged briefly from mid-2021 to late 2022, driven by new customer demand and disrupted commercial flights, levels returned to pre-pandemic norms by late 2022. Claims of explosive growth are exaggerated, as 2022 activity mirrored 2007, highlighting the industry’s stability amid polarized debates on sustainability and class issues.
