Austrian Business Aviation Association

The Austrian Business Aviation Association, known as ABAA, is a professional alliance for business aviation companies in Austria. It has its base at the General Aviation Center in Vienna. It is a member of the Council of the European Business Aviation Association.

The association says business aviation has been an integral part of civil aviation in Austria for over 40 years. Today the segment includes more than 100 Austrian companies. Most of them are small and medium-sized businesses. They provide a wide range of services and deliver Made-in-Austria products to customers around the world.

The ABAA speaks for business aviation, which means non-scheduled commercial air transport. It promotes the interests and concerns of these companies in the rules and the economy of Austria, the European Union and the wider international scene.

The association acts as a point of contact to Austrian authorities, regulators, government offices and other public bodies. This helps its members to be heard when laws and rules are made. Its aim is to keep an environment in which business aviation can grow. It also looks for workable answers to the issues that affect business aviation.

The ABAA does not run any activity for commercial gain. It does not pursue profit-making goals. It is organised as a non-profit association.

The association shares information on subjects such as sustainability in business aviation and the case for choosing Austria. It offers membership to companies in the sector, with benefits and a members area. It also publishes facts and statistics, lists its members, and holds events such as the Regional Forum Austria. It has also shared information on the mineral oil tax in Austria.
