Welcome
Welcome to the latest edition of the BAG Update.
BAG has once again been very busy since I last wrote to you at the beginning of November. We kicked off the month with our annual BAG Board Strategy Workshop where BAG Board members came together with a small number of representatives from BAG’s strategic partners to review our strategic objectives for the year ahead. Following this session we will finalise the BAG Strategic Priorities for 2023 at the Board’s quarterly meeting in early December and then of course share those with the wider membership early in the new year.
Thank you to my colleagues from the BAG Board who facilitated an excellent and insightful virtual Market Deep Dive Session exploring projects and opportunities in Saudi Arabia on 9 November 2022, together with the Department for International Trade as well as high level country stakeholders. We were joined by senior representatives from GACA as well as the Red Sea Company who shared latest in-depth updates. In case you missed this session you can view the presentations and listen to the recording here.
Earlier this week I was delighted – alongside a number of other BAG Board members and the BAG team – to attend and exhibit at the 2022 Heathrow Business Summit themed around reconnecting Heathrow’s business community. It was fantastic to see so many businesses attending and connecting with a range of contacts. The Summit offered inspiring insights into how working with Heathrow will enable SMEs to play a central role in the airport’s operation and wider sustainable supply chain. BAG was delighted to be recognised by Heathrow with a Partner Recognition award at the event, and we are looking forward to strengthening our partnership moving forwards even further.
Last week saw the latest meetings of two of our Special Interest Groups: Security as well as Next Gen. Related meeting minutes and presentations can be found within the groups’ areas on the BAG website; if your company is interested in joining any of BAG’s Special Interest Groups, you can sign up easily via the BAG members portal to stay up to date on latest events and activities. Later this week, the ACG and EOSG will also both be holding their meetings on Thursday 16 November in our London offices, please register if you are interested to attend.
In BAG’s aim to widen our approach and link up cross-sectorally, a number of BAG Board members participated at the Rail Industry Association’s Conference Dinner last week to broaden our connections.
Looking ahead to 2023 - we have just launched registration for our BAG Stand at Passenger Terminal Expo in March 2023 in Amsterdam. The BAG Sponsorship stand package is one of the most affordable and effective ways to exhibit at this world class show. Sign up via the BAG website today!
There are also a limited amount of spaces available for the BAG New Year Dinner on 18 January 2023. If you are interested to attend please register via the BAG website.
And finally, don’t forget – it is also time to renew your membership with BAG – all details can be found here.

BAG Annual Survey 2022!
The BAG Board is very keen to improve the service BAG offers its members and we are therefore running an Annual Members’ Survey to understand the views of the members. The structure of the survey falls into three parts:
A) How BAG is performing in meeting the needs of members
- This will help the Board improve the service offered to members
B) Current and future workload
- This information will be used in both influencing DIT on where missions and events should be held, and where there is knowledge within the membership which could be of benefit to others.
C) Impact, Opportunities and Priorities
- This will help the Board when setting priorities for BAG for 2023 during the annual BAG Strategic Framework refresh.
Please click here for information and to complete the survey by Friday 18 November 2022. |

The British Aviation Group shall be returning to RAI, Amsterdam in March 2023, providing BAG members the opportunity to exhibit by sponsoring the BAG Stand at the increasingly popular Passenger Terminal Expo (PTE). 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.
