IBAC’s IS-BAH Earns Place in ICAO Global Plan
IS-BAH is the only ground-handling standard recognized for bizav in the 2026–2028 Plan

The International Business Aviation Council’s International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH) program has been recognized in the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) 2026–2028 Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP). Approved last month, the plan marks the first time IS-BAH has been recognized in an ICAO industry evaluation program and the only ground-handling safety standard identified for business aviation.

IS-BAH now joins IBAC’s International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) in earning this global distinction. Founded in 2014, IS-BAH is a voluntary program for FBOs and ground-handling organizations, modeled on the structure of IS-BAO, that incorporates industry best practices with a progressive safety management system.
