German Business Aviation Association

The German Business Aviation Association e.V. (GBAA) represents business aviation in Germany and has more than 100 members. Founded in 1970 as the Arbeitskreis Geschaftsluftfahrt within the Federation of German Industries (BDI) and entered in the register of associations in 2001, it is based at Georg-Wulf-Strasse 2, 12529 Schonefeld, next to Berlin Brandenburg Airport. Its members span flight operators, handling and maintenance companies, aircraft manufacturers, corporate flight departments, consultants and service providers, and the association describes itself as the strong voice of German business aviation under the motto one association, one voice, one future. The board is chaired by Peter Gatz with Dr Winthir Brunnenbauer as board member and Andreas Mundsinger as managing director.

Why business aviation matters

Member testimonials on the site stress that individual companies are rarely heard in politics but gain influence at association level, that business aircraft connect European economic regions directly and give regional exporters access without detours via large hubs, and that GBAA membership provides a valuable network, regular updates and business opportunities. Quoted members include Atlas Air Service, the AeroVisto Group, Besso Grimme Insurance Broker and IMPACT on sustainable aviation, and the association is also active on sustainability and social responsibility.
