EBAA is the leading Association representing Business Aviation in Europe. In 1977, Dr. Ir. F.J. Philips founded the Association to defend the interests of Business Aviation. Nowadays, over 500 business aviation companies, direct Members or Members of associate organizations rely on EBAA to protect their interests.

As the aviation infrastructure in Europe is changing rapidly with the introduction of the Single European Sky, the expansion of EASA’s role, the risk of inappropriate Security hobbling our business without enhancing safety, not to mention the threat of disproportionate rules for emission trading being applied to our sector, it has never been more important for business aviation to be properly represented. Indeed, at a time when the airlines are becoming more aggressive against us as our business grows at 7% per year, and we take more of their high value clients, proper representation to protect our needs and rights has never been more important.

Fortunately, thanks to our growing membership base and the extraordinary success of EBACE, our 50/50 JV with NBAA, EBAA has never been better placed to guard member interests, and their fleet which has grown from 107 aircraft in 1987 to over 800 aircraft today. Yet there are more than 3,000 business aircraft in Europe today, a growth of 25% since the start of the millennium. If you are one of the owners and operators of the 2,200 aircraft we do not represent, maybe it is time for you to join the Association and let us represent your legitimate concerns on behalf of an industry that is doing so well but is rightly anxious about its future.

EBAA really does influence the regulatory processes in Europe by taking an active part in consultancy hearings promoting the importance of business aircraft to the European economy and demonstrating that business aviation really can live side by side with the airlines as the alternative choice for the business traveler. Indeed, we are the only voice authorized to represent business aviation among the European Institutions. JOIN US TODAY!
