The European Business Aviation Summit (EBAS 2024) took place in Brussels on the 5th of December, bringing together leaders of the business aviation industry, aviation stakeholders and European policymakers. The summit's overarching theme of “Partnering for Progress” revolved around the role of business aviation in Europe’s economic fabric set against the backdrop of the beginning of the European legislative term 2024–2029, which is called to address the challenge of combining decarbonisation objectives with competitiveness.

BASIC 2024 launched a new era in business aviation safety by bringing together diverse industry stakeholders to openly share ideas, build trust, and collaborate on real-world challenges. Through interactive sessions and focused “tribes,” participants moved beyond quick fixes toward deeper understanding and collective solutions.
