The International\nBusiness Aviation Council (IBAC) recently conducted its annual International\nStandard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH\u2122) standards board meeting where\nit virtually introduced the members for 2020-2021. Board members from around\nthe world participated, including the new Chair, Allison Markey, from WYVERN,\nLtd, and the new Vice Chair, Marc Pieters, with Jet Aviation EuMEA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Terry Yeomans, IS-BAH Programme Director, said, \u201cTypically\nwe meet in Geneva during the EBACE event annually, but unfortunately we had to\ngo to a virtual format this year. The IS-BAH Standards Board is delegated\nresponsibility by the IBAC Governing Board for the content of the standards\nthemselves. Suggested improvements are received throughout the year from\nindustry users, and from upcoming changes identified by IBAC within the ICAO\nSARPs. The Standards Board consists of a wide range of currently active\nprofessionals in the ground handling service provider sector, showing they are\ntruly industry-driven standards. I thank the outgoing Chair Joseph Azzaz of Sky\nValet, St Tropez Aeroport, for his contributions over the previous two years\nand welcome this new leadership team of Allison and Marc. The ongoing support\nof these leaders, the other 14 members, those who attended as observers this\nyear, and the entire IBAC team, is critical to the ongoing success of the\nIS-BAH programme in promoting safer operations for us all. I thank the entire\nteam for going above and beyond to support and voluntarily participate in the\nfuture of IS-BAH, and I look forward to continued collaboration with them all,\u201d\nadded Yeomans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have been\ninvolved with the IS-BAH programme since attending the first class in North\nAmerican. As such, I have great respect for the IS-BAH programme and the entire\nIBAC team,\u201d commented Allison Markey, Senior Director, Audit Programs at WYVERN\nLtd. \u201cI am excited to serve as Chair for\nthe standards board and honored to represent the hundreds of ground handling\ncompanies around the world that work hard every day to be a registered IS-BAH\norganization. The IS-BAH programme is one that I believe in because I have seen\nit work to transform organizations into ones that have safety performance as a\ncommon goal and culture,\u201d added Markey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The IS-BAH programme\nhas registered more than 230 different locations globally since its inception\nin 2014 and is designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of business and\ngeneral aviation Ground Handling Service Providers (GHSP). As a voluntary\nprogramme, IS-BAH is the first industry standard to bring the SMS concept to\nground handling and will enable handlers to meet ICAO SMS requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
