General Aviation● BBGA represents the interest of member

companies at a regional level when we need to progress issues with bodies like airports, local communities or divisions of government agencies.

● At National level BBGA is part of the key part of the body established with CAA and DfT. The General and Business Strategic Forum give effective access to the CEO of our CAA and the Aviation Minister. The forum is a small group of only three associations which include AOPA, GAA and the BBGA, which provides complete coverage of the sector without any overlap.

● The BBGA has access to all the government offices and is the first point of contact for consultations on our sector.

● At a European level the association has access to EASA and the Commission through the vehicle which is ECOGAS (European Council of General Aviation Support). This allows us to work with the top five member state associations and together we have 700 members to refer to when making

our inputs to the European regulator.● We have access to the international forum of

IBAC (International Business Aviation Council). As a founder of this group it allows all the international associations across the globe to work together to help provide strategic direction for our sector. The IBAC secretariat operates from the same offices as ICAO and therefore they are able to lobby directly for long term changes on our behalf, to help shape our sector in the long term.

● BBGA is working hard to improve the perception of our sector and has strong links with the EBAA who are developing a significant marketing programme to help that process. We have full and unrestricted access to the material generated to help market our sector.

MIDDLE EAST AIRLINESAirport Road, PO Box 11-206, [email protected]://www.mea.com.lb Contact: Capt/Dr Mohammed Aziz FRAeSMiddle East Airlines was established in May 1945. In 1963, it merged with Air Liban and in 1968 most of its fleet was destroyed on ground as a result of an Israeli attack on Beirut International Airport; however, the airline emerged stronger.

The frequent closure of Beirut International Airport during Lebanon’s civil war between 1975 and 1990 constituted another challenge to MEA; again, the airline managed to survive. With the return to normality in 1990, MEA succeeded in reinstating service to all its previous destinations and strengthened its network.

From 1998 to 2002, MEA implemented its largest restructuring ever, turning around the company from huge annual losses to achieve profits for 17 consecutive years.

Throughout its history, MEA has been proud of maintaining the highest safety standards, regardless of its financial situation.
