Competent. Innovative. Networked.
Building bridges between innovation and regulation.
The German Business Aviation Association e.V. (GBAA) has been the driving force behind dynamic and sustainable business aviation in Germany and Europe since 1970. The GBAA brings together the entire world of this industry: flight operations, handling and maintenance companies, aircraft manufacturers, factory flight operations, consultants, insurance companies, brokers and financial service providers.
Together with our members and partners, we stand for an air transport network that is characterized by innovative technologies, efficient processes and climate-friendly working methods.
Cooperative. Meaningful. Powerful.
The strong voice of business aviation.
The GBAA promotes safe, efficient and sustainable flight operations by consistently representing the interests of its members. The GBAA e.V. acts as an important interface between legislators, members and aviation authorities. Furthermore, it promotes the transformation to sustainable aviation through technological innovation and advocates the fair and low-bureaucracy use of aviation infrastructure.
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!
Flexible. Sustainable. Indispensable.
Connectivity without compromise.
Business aviation offers companies, governments and private individuals customized and flexible air transport that saves time and increases efficiency through direct flights. It strengthens competitiveness, enables access to international markets and connects rural regions via a network of decentralized airfield infrastructures.
