Global operations are increasing, but geopolitical conflicts and a lack of infrastructure are making them much more complex, panelists agreed during EBACE 2025 last week.

Speaking during a session on “Business Aviation Around the World: Navigation Global Operational Challenges,” Maxim Ivanov, operations manager for FCG Ops, said the number of operations has grown and is placing a strain on air navigation service providers and ground infrastructure. He cited Central Asia as an example.
