The fourth Baltic Business Aviation Forum took place on August 6th, in Latvia, with Riga International Airport vip centre forming the centerpiece of the event. The Forum was organized by the Russian United Business Aviation Association, and over 60 delegates from Russia and Europe participated. Delegates advised that the fourth Forum was the best yet and delivered an insightful and well organized series of presentations and networking events. The program of events started with a series of business presentations and introductions that took place in the vip centre conference hall. All presentations were dedicated to the current challenges facing the industry in the Baltic states and throughout the region. There was no particular theme to the presentations; the key factor was that they were chosen for their relevance to the industry sectors that had listed when delegates registered for the forum. Delegates were treated to a presentation about the development and infrastructure of Riga International Airport and its future plans. This was underlined by a tour around the airport and vip centre with demonstrations of new developments in the airport’s infrastructure. Presentations also covered the market for aircraft sales and the current situation and challenges posed in recruitment. Of particular interest to aircraft operators were the presentations about the electronic flight bag from Jeppesen and Eurocontrol’s support of aircraft operators within the framework of ETS reporting. Special attention was dedicated to the new FBO Riga, which is currently under construction. Delegates were able to see the progress of the work and how the FBO is developing.

The IV Baltic Business Aviation Forum concluded with an evening reception that took place in the heart of Jurmala, right on the beach of the Riga Bay. A fitting conclusion to an outstanding event. Delegates were delighted to hear that the fifth Baltic Business Aviation Forum will take place again next year.
