The Irish Business &amp; General Aviation Association (IBGAA) is gearing up for its next conference later this year, building on the 2024 event that drew 160 delegates.&nbsp;IBGAA is planning its 2025 International Business Aviation Conference on November 13 at the K-Club Hotel and Golf Resort in County Kildare. That was also the site of the 2024 event, which proved popular among attendees, according to IBGAA
Its event attracts leading decision makers and will delve into topics such as doing business in Ireland, obtaining an Irish air operator certificate, and placing aircraft on the Irish registry. In addition, participants will get an update on planning for the Ryder Cup, which will be held at Adare Manor in County Limerick in 2027.
The conference comes as business aviation continues to strengthen in Ireland. IBGAA pointed out that 50% of the world’s commercial aircraft are owned by Irish lessors. Many business jet owners have also selected Ireland for its favorable tax regime and legal framework, particularly surrounding aircraft leasing and ownership structures, according to IBGAA.
Since its founding in 2021, IBGAA has spearheaded campaigns to elevate the importance of business aviation in Ireland, including working to ensure that business aircraft operators would retain slots at Dublin when officials had contemplated a complete ban. IBGAA also worked to educate the Irish government and stakeholders on the economic contribution that the sector provides to the country.
Returning to EBACE, IBGAA founding executive director Joe Buckley will join a panel at 1:30 p.m. today at the EBAA AirOps stage for a session entitled "Securing Airport Access for Business Aviation: Challenges and Solutions." Additionally, &nbsp;IBGAA founding member Keith McKay will discuss business aviation perceptions and the role associations can play for their members in a panel hosted by UAS International Trip Support today at 1 p.m. at Stand 1473.

News and developments about airplanes, helicopters and unmanned air vehicles used in all varieties of operations, including airlines, military, business, commercial, general aviation and private.
