The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) today responded to calls from some British political leaders for restricting business aircraft access to airports in the United Kingdom (UK), on emissions grounds.

The International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) has announced a new option for its International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) programme intended for single aircraft flight departments. The new FlightPlan Stage1
option is being introduced with North American operator, 30 West Jets, based in Honolulu, Hawaii.

AviationManuals and the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) today announced a partnership combining efforts to make IS-BAO certification more convenient. Through this relationship, AviationManuals will maintain IBAC’s free General Company Operations Manual (GCOM) current to the latest IS-BAO revision, as well as provide its renowned simplified development methods to operators looking to obtain and maintain IS-BAO registration.

The International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) joins the business aviation community, family, and friends in mourning the loss of their colleague, Michael W. Hohm.
