The British Business and General Aviation Association (BBGA) is assembling key government and industry leaders for a webinar next week that will delve into “all matters” surrounding Brexit. To be held on September 22 and open to the public, the 90-minute webinar will explore how the industry will adapt and the extent that government assistance is needed.
Richard Koe, managing director of WingX, will provide an introduction, including an overview of UK business aviation and scheduled airline outlook. Aoife O'Sullivan, a partner in The Air Law Firm, will give a legal perspective of what the industry is facing leading up to December 31, while Adrian Jones, chartered tax adviser and aviation specialist with Martyn Fiddler Aviation, will discuss tax implications.
Other speakers, covering a range of regulatory, business, operational, and other concerns, include SaxonAir CEO Alex Durand; BBGA CEO Marc Bailey; David Harding, deputy director of general aviation, safety, and skills for the UK Department for Transport; and Rob Bishton, director of safety and airspace regulation, and David Kendrick, head of airline licensing, both for the UK Civil Aviation Authority.
