Brussels, 24 November 2020. For the third year in a row, the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) is sending ten carefully selected inspired young leaders to represent the industry at the 2021 One Young World Summit in Munich.

Brussels, 16 November 2020. EBAA joins over 20 associations collectively representing the entire European aviation ecosystem to announce a joint commitment to work with policy makers to achieve net zero CO2 emissions by 2050, as part of a comprehensive collaborative analysis released today detailing ways aviation can recover sustainably and more resiliently from the COVID-19 crisis whilst supporting the European Union’s Green Deal objectives.

EBAA signed a declaration, alongside 19 other European aviation associations calling for a bold strategy for a sustainable recovery of European aviation.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has heavily impacted aviation and has caused a severe drop in traffic demand, it is also an opportunity to “build back better” a more efficient, resilient, and sustainable European Air Traffic Management, aligned with the political goals and ambition of the European Green Deal and a Europe that it fit for the digital age. The long awaited SES II + update proposal, published by the European Commission on 22 Sept, is therefore welcomed.

The European Commission is preparing the next European Research and Innovation Programme. In doing so, the Commission will set up partnerships (including the private sector as well as public entities) in several strategic industrial areas, including for air traffic management.

The Associate Member Advisory Council (AMAC), a group which advises the EBAA Board of Governors on areas of interest to the membership and acts as the bridge between EBAA and our associate members, recently launched an online virtual roundtable series aimed at rethinking different aspects of the Business aviation industry.

As we enter the third decade of the century, the focus on environmental and wider sustainability responsibilities within civil aviation becomes more acute, this of course includes Business aviation. This is further heightened as the sector recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic, which has also been linked to improved environmental performance.

Brussels & Washington, 29 September 2020 – After a first-of-its-kind sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) summit, business aviation leaders have committed to redouble their focus on fostering the large-scale production and widespread adoption of SAF.
