The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) issued an urgent call for national authorities to eliminate administrative barriers for operations between the UK and European Union states, saying this would benefit all involved. Under the framework of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the UK government permitted EU operators to exercise Third and Fourth Freedom rights, allowing flights to and from the UK. However, UK operators are finding that those freedoms are not being reciprocated by a number of EU countries.

The annual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) has been canceled for the second year in a row due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Hosted by the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) and National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), the event was scheduled to take place May 18-20 in Geneva, Switzerland, at the PalExpo convention center and Geneva International Airport. In 2019, the convention saw over 400 exhibitors and more than 13,000 attendees.
“Although vaccination programs are ramping up, we are still in unchartered waters,” said EBAA Secretary-General Athar Husain Khan. “We felt that, in May 2021, the safety of our exhibitors and attendees could not be guaranteed in the traditional EBACE format.”
