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, commercial and corporate flight departments, consultants, insurance companies, brokers and financial service providers.

Together with our members and partners, we stand for an aviation network that is characterized by innovative technologies, efficient processes and climate-friendly working methods.

Jan Schulze

The GBAA is indispensable for the political representation of business aviation interests. Individual companies are hardly heard, but effective influence can be exerted at association level. This is impressively demonstrated by the success of petitions and the involvement of political representatives.
