Welcome


Welcome to the first edition of the BAG Update in 2023!  Wishing all BAG members a Happy and prosperous New Year 2023!
 
Further to my note in the BAG Update in December, the BAG Board met in December 2022, in which we reviewed BAG Strategic Priorities for 2023. Core to our discussion were the continued focus on sustainability, the return to business growth in the aviation sector and the importance of equipment supplier member engagement to progress on all fronts. We also reconfirmed that the BAG Working Groups would be key in the delivery of the plans for how the Priorities would be achieved, and BAG’s KPI’s delivered. The BAG Working Groups are now once again opened up to the wider membership for active and diverse involvement. Full details including Terms of Reference and how to join the BAG Working Groups can be found on the BAG websiteplease register your interest by Friday 20 January 2023. Please consider the list of Working Groups BAG operates and who from your business might be interested in joining any of these. I stress again, we are looking for diverse involvement so would encourage you to share this across your business as broadly as possible. The 2023 BAG Working Groups are Membership, Events, Missions, Strategic Relationships, Communications, Business Intelligence, Sustainability, Innovation and Diversity & Inclusion. If you would like to discuss this in more detail please reach out to Bettina Rigg
.
  
We are excited to be kicking off the year with the BAG New Year Dinner next week on 18 January 2023 where we will be joined by 400 guests including representatives from Government, various airport stakeholders, the airport infrastructure supply chain as well as wider stakeholders. Our keynote speaker will be Rachel Gardner-Poole, Chief Operating Officer, Connected Places Catapult and Chair Jet Zero Council Zero Emissions Flight Delivery Group.
 
Looking ahead - the new year continues with a range of events and activities – with the UK Airports Sector Mission to India confirmed for 20-24 February 2023,  which will visit key stakeholders in New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Bangalore OR Hyderabad and Mumbai; a draft outline programme can be found on the BAG website and registrations to attend are now open.

BAG Business Intelligence Update


BAG’s Business Intelligence and Strategic Relationship Working Groups come together regularly to try and collect as much intelligence as they can to gather on what is happening in the market, both now and how things change as we the sector recovers and rebuilds.

This document focuses on two key topics:
- What’s happening at UK airports
- What’s happing in the International markets, particularly in the priority markets we set for this year in discussion with DIT. Based on what we learn should we be resetting those priorities or focussing on other opportunities
