The International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH) program, honoring its first registered ground handler, SRC Aviation of New Delhi, India. Also as part of the milestone year, IBAC launched an IS-BAH campaign, “Elevating Ground Handling Safety.”

“The idea for IS-BAH was based on the success of the aircraft operators’ standard, IS-BAO, introduced more than 20 years ago,” said IBAC director general Kurt Edwards. “Its global recognition as an industry safety standard inspired us to develop something similar for the critical ground handling sector, complement the operational standard, and get ahead of coming SMS requirements in this area. We are grateful for SRC Aviation and their proactive approach to safety.”
