Jet Story, AvconJet join EBAA:

28 May 2019: Jet Story and AvconJet have recently joined EBAA, strengthening the association's membership with their voices and expertise.

Currently, EBAA has 732 members and its robust membership represent the entirety of the European business aviation industry value chain. Jet Story is the first Polish operator to be represented in the EBAA membership and Avcon Jet, who has seen an exponential fleet growth over the last five years and presently operate more than 60 aircraft.

"We're very proud to be part of the association", said Alexander Vagacs, CEO, Avcon Jet. "The industry faces many challenges and we are looking forward to working with colleagues across the industry, to address them."

Bartlomiej Drywa, Jet Story, CEO said, "In today's environment it doesn't make sense to be isolated. The EBAA's expertise has already been very useful, and we're keen to assist in whatever way we can to help the association achieve its goals."

"Small operators realise that they need our support more than ever, so that they can chart their way through a complex regulatory environment," said EBAA, COO, Robert Baltus "We're making the effort to go directly to where they are based. This year, aside from our Safety and Cabin Service Conference, we're organising 10 regional forums at different European airports. These technically focused events allow us to listen to operators' concerns, so that we can find pragmatic solutions."

"Since starting EBACE in 2000, the show has always been a milestone event for us," said Robert Baltus. "What's great about it is that resources gained through the show are re-invested in our advocacy work. We are the frontline of the industry, and our members set our advocacy agenda through our working groups, ensuring all of our work serves their best interests."
