Switzerland To Host European Business Aviation Forum

The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) announced that this year’s Business Aviation National Forum will take place on June 30 in Bern, Switzerland, just one month after the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) is held from May 24 to 26 in Geneva. The forum, which was held in Italy last year, brings together business aircraft operators, service providers and financiers from across Europe.

This year's edition of the forum will address topics such as the business aviation industry’s role in the Swiss economy. There will be a panel devoted to a case study on how Swiss legislation affects the industry. Meanwhile, Swiss provider contributions to MROs, OEMs, airports, FBOs and helicopters will also be explored.

Part of EBAA’s mandate is to ensure that business aviation is recognized as a vital sector of the European economy. With approximately 500 members who represent a fleet of 1,000 aircraft, EBAA deals with issues such as environmental concerns, regulations and access to airports and airspace.
