The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) announced 21 December a member sharing agreement with Irish Business and General Aviation Association (IBGAA).
The agreement ensures that business aviation companies based in Ireland can benefit from representation at national level through the IBGAA, and at European level through the EBAA.
EBAA COO Robert Baltus said “We were delighted to witness the launch of the Irish association and are glad to be able to support them within the framework of a member sharing agreement with Business aviation facing many challenges both at national and European level, it’s more important than ever for associations to work together and help the industry move forward”.
Josh Stewart, Founding Chairman of the Irish Business and General Aviation Association (IBGAA), said, “We’re hugely pleased to enter into this agreement with the EBAA, as it improves our ability to serve members throughout Ireland. Having recently been accepted as a member of the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC), the agreement expands our international reach, putting us in a very strong position to promote the advantages that Ireland offers to the global Business aviation industry.”
The Irish Business and General Aviation Association (IBGAA) also joins the Council of European Business Aviation Associations (CEBAA); an interactive forum where European national associations meet to guide projects that have an impact at national and European level.
BizAv’s contribution to Ireland and its economy is significant, with some 2,000 direct and indirect jobs related to the sector in 2017 and an output of €667 million.
