EGAMA forms to oppose a wave of new EU regs
The European general aviation industry has created a counterpart to the U.S.

The European general aviation industry has created a counterpart to the U.S. General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) in an effort to head off the threat posed by a barrage of new EU regulations.

Named EGAMA, the group is a part of the aerospace and defense industries association of Europe (ASD) with a core membership consisting of manufacturers of business jets, helicopters, light aircraft and their suppliers. At the EBACE show in Geneva in May, EGAMA’s founding members named Dassault senior vice president for civil aircraft Olivier Villa as the group’s first chairman and Piaggio Aero’s Jose Di Mase as vice chairman. EGAMA headquarters is located in Brussels in existing ASD offices.
