Informed by the EBAA Business Aviation Safety and Innovation Conference (BASIC) held in Brussels in October, the 17-question survey looks to “strengthen collaboration on ground handling and ramp safety,” something EBAA said was a “direct outcome of the discussions held during the event.”
EBAA said BASIC is “run by the community, for the community.” As such, it is encouraging “all members to share their perspectives and play an active role in advancing safety across our industry.” These are intended to inform future guidance, standards, and safety enhancements, shaping “practical, data-driven improvements that support safer ground operations across Europe and beyond.”
