EBAA and IBAC Initiate Ground Handling and Ramp Survey

The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) and International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) have partnered to initiate a ground handling and ramp safety survey. According to EBAA, this exercise is intended to “help shape practical, data-driven improvements that support advancing safety across our industry.”

Informed by the EBAA Business Aviation Safety and Innovation Conference (BASIC) held in Brussels in October, the 17-question survey looks to “strengthen collaboration on ground handling and ramp safety,” something EBAA said was a “direct outcome of the discussions held during the event.”

EBAA said BASIC is “run by the community, for the community.” As such, it is encouraging “all members to share their perspectives and play an active role in advancing safety across our industry.” These are intended to inform future guidance, standards, and safety enhancements, shaping “practical, data-driven improvements that support safer ground operations across Europe and beyond.”
