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 website – please 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. The UK Airports Sector Mission to Saudi Arabia is scheduled for 26 February – 1 March 2023 and more information and registration can be found here. These activities are representative of a broad range of engagements that continue to increase the profile of British Aviation Group and our members. Please do contact us and share your views so that we can represent you in the best way possible.
BAG will also be returning to PTE 14-16 March 2023, this year held in Amsterdam, where we will be providing BAG members the opportunity to exhibit by sponsoring the BAG Stand. Over the years the BAG stand at PTE has grown considerably, becoming one of the main networking hubs for the aviation industry to meet and do business. If you haven’t secured your space please book on the BAG website now!
In May 2023 BAG will be hosting once again the UK Pavilion at Airportshow Dubai (9-11 May 2023), more information on how to be part can be found here.
We are also delighted to confirm that BAG will once again be hosting the UK Pavilion at inter airport Europe in Munich – 10-13 October 2023, where you can register your interest to exhibit with us on the BAG website.

The event attracts over 1,900 senior airport, airline, aviation authority, government and related business executives from all over the world.
The BAG Sponsorship stand package is one of the most affordable and effective ways to exhibit at this world class. The location for 2023 means companies will benefit from a very visible presence at the show due to our stand location.
