BACA – The Air Charter Association elected Nick Weston to serve as its next chairman. Weston, who was named to the new role during a meeting of the BACA Council at the Baltic Exchange on March 14, succeeds Richard Mumford, who has steered the group since 2016.

 


CEO of the aviation services company Weston Aviation, Weston is stepping into the leadership spot after having been a member of the association for nearly 25 years and serving both as a council member and deputy chairman. He noted that he is taking the reins following a period of growth in membership and services under Mumford’s leadership.

 


“It is thanks to [Mumford’s] dedication that the association is where it is today, and with the continued support of the council and our members, I am very much looking forward to taking BACA—The Air Charter Association—to the next level and beyond,” he said.

 


“I am proud to have served the association as chairman for the past three years,” Mumford said. “During that period, we have driven an ambitious program of development that has helped transform and modernize the association tremendously.”

 


Noting the association is celebrating its 70th anniversary, Mumford added, “I can think of no better person to take up leadership of the next phase in BACA’s life than Nick Weston.”&nbsp;
