The British Business and General Aviation Association (BBGA), marking its 50th anniversary this year, is adding Future Flight (Urban Air Mobility and Regional Air Mobility) to its active Working Groups, in response to membership interest, the association announced today at its annual conference.
The Group, which will be led by BBGA Vice Chair Alex Durand, CEO of SaxonAir, will provide updates and recommendations for this emerging sector to the Board. It will be similar to the other working groups, which meet regularly, all headed by Board directors with active input from members.
“Moving into our sixth decade, we see Advanced Air Mobility and clean technologies like eSAF advancing in the rear-view mirror. It’s therefore opportune to harness our accumulated knowledge and expertise and help this new sector flourish into the future with us,” he said.
The new group will complement BBGA’s existing working groups covering Operations; Flight Operations; Airworthiness; FBOs; Sustainability, plus Membership and Events. Future Flight will have a touch point in each of our groups.
Its scope will cover:
• Membership consultation to assess the Group’s opportunities and challenges
• Outreach to regulators and Government on new aircraft, technologies
• Communications with the BBGA Board and membership on key updates and milestones
• Leveraging our broad expertise to support integration of emerging technologies
• Leveraging Future Flight opportunities to inform current strategy
Any company or individual interested in joining this Group is invited to contact Managing Director Lindsey Oliver: lindsey@bbga.aero
