The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) is working with its members to establish a framework of standards through which the industry can measure the environmental and social sustainability of aircraft operations and the ecosystem that supports flights. The program will result in the implementation of a compliance label that could be applicable to all companies within the business aviation value chain, including not only aircraft operators but also FBOs, maintenance providers, law firms, and finance and insurance companies.

A draft outline of the new Standards & Training for Aviation Responsibility and Sustainability (STARS) has been distributed to some EBAA members participating in the early phase of the pilot program that started in September, with a view to expanding it in 2024. It will consist of three tiers of best practices covering environmental impacts as well as the social responsibility objectives of business aviation companies.
