BBAL

BBAL e.V., the Bundesverband der Betriebe der Allgemeinen Luftfahrt, is the German federal association of general aviation businesses. It grew out of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Allgemeine Luftfahrt Wirtschaftsverband e.V. (AAL), founded in 1989, and represents the interests of small and medium-sized general aviation enterprises, particularly towards the German Federal Ministry of Transport and the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA), as well as at the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in Cologne. Its board members include H. P. Gomolzig, Svenja Bock and Kurt Dahlmann, and the association is reachable through its office mailbox and a contact form.
