About Us

The German Business Aviation Association e. V. (GBAA) represents the interests of Business Aviation companies involved in the value chain and is a competent contact for policy makers. We represent companies like commercial operators, corporate aviation and ambulance flight operations, aircraft manufacturers, maintenance and finance companies as well as many other service providers from the aviation industry. In total, our members have a fleet of more than 150 aircraft of various sizes.

GBAA began its work in 1970 as a ‘Business Aviation Working Group’ within the Federation of German Industries (BDI). Since its entry into the register of associations in 2001, GBAA’s membership has been tripled, and we have currently more than 90 members.

Vision

The German Business Aviation Association e.V. is actively involved in creating current and future decentralized air traffic and its infrastructure in Germany and in Europe. We are the modern representative for all stakeholders in Business Aviation. This requires an intensive and future-oriented networking of all companies involved in the value chain.

Mission

By supporting the decentralized aviation infrastructure, we network medium-sized companies and act as an interface between our members, the authorities, state institutions, and aviation associations. As a competent partner, we actively engage in dialog with policymakers and the science sector and we are committed to climate protection. In a conciliation of ecology and economy, we promote the development of lower-emission aircraft, sustainable air fuels, and the optimization of operational processes. We want to be a pioneer for sustainable and efficient operations by 2030.
