BACA - The Air Charter Association steers steady course for Brexit

With the level of political uncertainty in Europe at an all time high, many brokers and operators are considering the implications of Brexit and what the future holds. Many indicators are currently showing the level of flight bookings is either flat or with minimal growth. With such an uncertain background BACA is determined to work in the best interests of its members at all times. The association sees itself as a global organisation with a strong European presence, and will continue to act on all aspects of flights within European states.

Specialist brokers will take the upcoming changes in their stride, and with BACA's full support will continue to offer the highest standards of advice and guidance to the flying customers, while working constructively with operators from all jurisdictions.

BACA is determined to support member companies throughout Brexit negotiations. BACA chairman Richard Mumford comments “The potential change to aviation legislation over the coming years presents a real challenge to the air charter market and one which we will embrace with our members to ensure they can remain at the forefront of best market practice.”

Speaking about the need for a unified industry during the challenging times ahead Mumford went on to say “The next few years could be a turbulent time for European business aviation: Brexit negotiations will create market uncertainty and challenges. I know that brokers are problem solvers and I believe that the role of specialist brokers will be more vital than ever. Never has it been more important for charter brokers, aircraft operators and associated companies to work together to maintain the best standards of customer experience. Our members and industry can be assured that BACA will make the case for brokers and ensure that the essential role they play is recognised as a fundamental part of the future success of our industry.”
