Addressing sustainability in business aviation is all about finding innovative strategies that go beyond SAF to reduce aviation's environmental impact...

EASA's proposed rules for operating Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft (VTOL) is the first initiative of this kind worldwide, paving the way for the future of air mobility.

As of 24 February 2022, due to high safety risks caused by military activity, the several eastern European airspace have been restricted (i.e. closed) for civil aviation operations.

This paper addresses considerations operators should be aware of to ensure operational preparedness for this next normal. To make it easy we have broken the considerations out it into four sections; Pre-Trip, En-route, At Destination, and Duty of Care.

The past 4 months have been a whirlwind for the entire world, as states have introduced measures to control outbreaks and spreading of the COVID-19 virus.

AIR OPS Europe 2020 is on approach to Brussels! Europe’s premier event for business aviation flight operations professionals is scheduled to touch down in the Capital of Europe on 4-5 February 2020.

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.

The new EASA Ground Handling Mandate (EU Regulation 20/2025), adopted on March 7, 2025, represents a fundamental shift in ground handling regulation at EU airports, with full applicability by March 2028. This mandate introduces stricter requirements for ground handling service providers, including compliance declarations, Safety Management Systems (SMS), detailed manuals, and continuous personnel competence. Business aviation operators, in particular, must ensure their ground service partners are compliant and integrated into their safety oversight, especially for ad-hoc operations. While demanding, this new framework aims to enhance safety, provide clarity, and streamline partnerships across the sector.
