The annual conference of the British Business & General Aviation Association (BBGA) took place in London on Thursday, March 12, 2026. With war raging in the Middle East, there was a certain air of nervousness—many delegates had been busy coping with disruption. BBGA Chair Aoife O’Sullivan opened the conference by reflecting on the “huge growth in their sector” since BBGA was formed 50 years ago, although then it was known as the General Aviation Manufacturers and Traders Association (GAMTA).
