The EBAA team is proud to report becoming a member of the prestigious Flight Safety Foundation in early May.

As the aviation industry prepares itself for the summer season, the safety of operations relies on resilient management systems and the whole aviation community working together.

Whilst the Business aviation operators are committed to make their industry greener and sustainable and the ReFuel EU Aviation initiative of the European Commission is becoming more and more concrete, several national legislations already make the use of biofuel mandatory for the airlines.

20 April 2021, Brussels. Today, the first-ever European Business Aviation SAF Summit concluded with a strategic plan for advancing the production, availability and use of sustainable aviation fuels in the region.

In Q1 2021, the EBAA safety team attended various meetings with relevant policymakers and stakeholders. Read an overview of what EBAAs input has been.

Regulation (EU) 376/2014 on the reporting, analysis and follow up of occurrences in civil aviation will be well known to anyone involved in Business aviation. It’s been in force since 2015 and it is going through a consultation process for update based on the experience so far

In January 2021, a group of more than 40 organisations, led by the Flight Safety Foundation and EUROCONTROL, presented the first volume of the work undertaken over the past 2 years. The release of the document has only suffered a delay of 2 months, despite the pandemic, proving once again the aviation’s ecosystem commitment to the mantra “Build Back Better”. 

EBAA, alongside its other partners in the Sustainable Aviation Fuels Coalition, is proud to receive the 2020 Top Flight Award for Sustainability. The awards are designed to recognise the best and the brightest in business aviation and honor creativity and innovation in design and technology as well as quality and passion in business aviation services and people.

This year’s theme looked into what happens when the concept of “business as usual” is overturned by an unprecedented event and how businesses have to adjust and find alternate ways to attain safety compliance, all while also caring for the wellbeing of their people.
