India’s Business Aircraft Operators Association (BAOA) is pushing for regulatory harmonization with global standards and reflecting the sector’s role in the national economy. At a conference in Hyderabad last week, the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) committed to supporting the group’s efforts.

IBAC director general Kurt Edwards told AIN that the ICAO-affiliated organization will work closely with BAOA to accelerate India’s adoption of sustainable aviation fuel, as well as ADS-B and GNSS navigation systems. He said rationalized rules could unlock industry growth to allow business aviation to scale up safely and sustainably.
