BAG Annual Review 2020 Launch.... In case you missed it!
BAG is delighted to launch their first online digital BAG Annual Review! Traditionally, BAG has produced a document showcasing activities over the course of the previous year which has been circulated at events and exhibitions. This year, we wanted to showcase BAG’s activities in a virtual and interactive way to highlight month by month what BAG has achieved, including key activities, webinars, Special Interest Groups and Regions, and how BAG has successfully engaged with its members throughout a challenging year. To view the 2020 BAG Annual Review please click here. Please tell us what you think and give us some feedback by contacting Hannah Sallabanks.

BAG Business Intelligence Document * Updated Version available*
BAG’s Business Intelligence and Strategic Relationship Working Groups have been producing regular Business Intelligence Updates over the past year 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 throughout the pandemic. The Board agreed to focus these discussions onto four topics:
- What’s happening with the Airlines, how are they responding to their very significant challenges
- What’s happening at UK airports. We are hearing of capital plans being put back. When might some of those come back, in what form etc.
- What’s happening 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 focusing on other opportunities
- Are there any potential changes to passenger or airport processes
To address the first three topics over the course of the last year we are publishing quarterly Business Intelligence Updates which are released via the BAG website and shared with our membership. The latest March 2021 UK market update can now be found on the BAG website together with all past editions. You can find the documents here.

BAG Members Virtual Briefing- *Presentations and recording available*
The British Aviation Group hosted their first virtual Members Briefing of 2021, in place of its traditional Spring BAG Members day, on the 25 February 2021 from 15:00-16:00 via MS Teams. The session was hosted by Jane Thompson, BAG Board Member and Lead of the BAG Events Working Group and Toby Gibbs, Lead of the BAG Sustainability Working Group.
A renewed emphasis on Sustainability is emerging as the front and centre topic for aviation recovery and securing the sector’s future license to operate and grow. With this emphasis on sustainability the sector needs to focus its efforts around this theme and we dedicated our traditional BAG Spring Members Day to this topic. We were delighted to welcome our guest speaker Jean-Louis Bartlett, Senior Consultant, Sustainability and Airport Carbon Accreditation Programme Manager at WSP who presented on the latest Developments in the Airport Carbon Accreditation Programme.
We are also gave members the opportunity to present their companies at the briefing around the Sustainability theme and share experiences, lessons learnt and case studies with the membership. Please find the presentations and recording from the session here.
