Industry Calls For Stronger Penalties on Illegal Charter
At the Air Charter Expo, business aviation associations called for tougher action against illegal charter flights.

The British Business and General Aviation Association (BBGA) is calling for legal changes to strengthen deterrents for illegal charter and boost enforcement. “Fines are pointless and they are not being enforced,” aviation attorney and BBGA chair Aoife O’Sullivan said today at the Air Charter Expo conference at Biggin Hill Airport. “We need a change in the law. The [flight] cost-sharing concept is being openly flouted and we need a change to the [UK] Air Navigation Order to put a stop to this.”
