Jan Schulze
Zitat

Die GBAA ist unverzichtbar für die politische Interessenvertretung der Business Aviation. Einzelne Unternehmen finden kaum Gehör, aber auf Verbandsebene kann effektiv Einfluss genommen werden. Erfolge bei Petitionen und die Einbindung politischer Vertreter belegen dies eindrucksvoll.

Jan Schulze, Executive Director – Aviation Division, Besso Grimme Insurance Broker GmbH, 2024

Zitat

Geschäftsreiseflugzeuge verbinden europäische Wirtschaftsräume direkt und ermöglichen regionalen Unternehmen eine Anbindung ohne Umwege über große Flughäfen. Sie sind entscheidend für exportorientierte Firmen in peripheren Wirtschaftsstandorten und fördern ökologische sowie regionale Ziele.

Zitat

Die Herausforderungen der Dekarbonisierung betreffen sowohl die Geschäftsluftfahrt als auch die kommerzielle Luftfahrt. Der Austausch von Fachwissen und Best Practices über Stakeholdergruppen und Grenzen hinweg ist ein wichtiger Baustein auf dem Weg zu Net Zero 2050.

Far-reaching. Well-founded. Passionate.

You too can play an active role in shaping business aviation.

Founded in 1970 as the ‘Business Aviation Working Group’ within the Federation of German Industries (BDI), the GBAA was entered in the register of associations in 2001. Since then, our membership has tripled – we now have over 100 member companies!
