A NEW WAY TO GET INVOLVED WITH IBAC
Demonstrate Leadership, Engagement, and Commitment
The International Business Aviation Association (IBAC) is the voice of business aviation at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a UN specialized agency that establishes global rules and standards for international aviation.
Uniquely based at ICAO headquarters in Montreal where it holds official observer status - and with a global team of specialists located in Belgium, Brazil, Canada, United States and United Kingdom - IBAC delivers expert advocacy, technical expertise, and intelligence across a wide spectrum ranging from participating at key ICAO panels, task forces, and standing committees to representing business aviation at ICAO’s triennial Assembly, high level conferences and regional forums.
IBAC encourages business aviation manufacturers and service providers - including MRO, aircraft management, transactional and other sectors - to join IBAC as an Industry Partner and assist in shaping standards at this level before they are adopted and applied as regulations by CAAs in their sovereign countries.
IBAC Leadership in Action:
Updating ICAO’s fundamental Chicago Convention rules governing international general aviation operations with the approval of ICAO top bodies, the first time in ICAO history of industry drafted text replacing a significant part of the Convention.
Leading a multi-year initiative to amend the ICAO standard allowing business aircraft with MTOW of up to 54,500 kg and with 19 or fewer seats to operate in charter and fractional service - without a fortified cockpit door.
Developing and securing a differentiated CO2 emissions standard appropriate for business aircraft that is recognized by ICAO, by aviation regulators and environmental agencies worldwide and across the broader civil aviation industry.
Establishing the leading industry standards for business aviation safety, recognized by ICAO and many world-leading regulators:
IS-BAO: International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations.
IS-BAH: International Standard for Business Aviation Handling.
