BBGA British Business and General Aviation Association
Airlines and Aviation
The UK's influential voice for business and general aviation
About us
The BBGA is a not-for-profit organisation representing the full range of activities in business aviation in the UK. This covers the operation of both jet and turboprop aircraft, with flights of a widely disparate nature - including moving equipment/teams between locations, transporting keky people between airports which have no scheduled airline connections and/or working to a timescale of their choice. Business aircraft are also used for search and rescue, medical evacuation, repatriation from conflict zones and connecting remote regions to the rest of the world The wider BBGA membership includes organisations providing products and services to the sector. These include Fixed Base Operators (FBOs), which serve as the equivalent of airport terminals, as well as companies providing maintenance, repair, and overhaul facilities. The service industry behind this whole process includes legal, insurance, training, and financial facilities together with ground operations, fuelling, advanced technology, and research. Many of these organisations are members of the BBGA. These activities are central to aircraft ownership and are vital to enabling smooth aircraft transactions and supporting a rapidly evolving global market Member's opinions are voiced theough workgroups for Flight Operations, Fixed Based Operators, Sustainability, Membership/Events, and Airworthiness. Our board of directors is elected by the members, each serving a 3 year term. We encourage a turnover in our board members to ensure a fresh perspective wherever possible The BBGA has a formal agreement with EBAA to ensure UK-based organisations are represented by a UK-based association, while ensuring the benefits of flying in Europe are included The BBGA also works with the European Council of General Aviation Support (ECOGAS) to provide input to EASA legislation. This ensures that the legislation adopted in the UK is well-suited and undergoes appropriate adjustments before being implemented under the ANO

Yesterday I had the chance to attend the 2024 Brooklands Innovation Academy at Brooklands Museum, Weybridge , where young people gain hands-on experience in a day of unique STEM workshops and talks by industry leaders including Simon Singh and Professor Brian Cox. BBGA also had a stand at the Twilight Careers Fair which was a great opportunity for us to chat to 14 to 16 year olds about a career in Business Aviation and talk about STEM careers one-to-one. A fantastic day with some great connections made. #Brooklandsmuseum #STEM
