BAG Chair Announcement
I was delighted and honoured to take over from Graham Bolton as the BAG Chair for the next two years following the BAG AGM yesterday. Graham has done a fantastic job in taking BAG forward. I am thrilled to be the new BAG chair supporting the group and continuing to provide world class expertise which will go on to help shape the future of the aviation sector. It was fantastic to see over 200 BAG Members and their guests at this year’s BAG Seminar and Drinks Reception at the Brewery in London.
Jason Fowler, Chair of the British Aviation Group

BAG Board Elections 2021- Announcement
Every Board member is elected for a term of three years and this year six positions came up for re-election. Further to the call for nominations for the BAG Board we received a total of six applications all of which meet the eligibility criteria for Board membership. As this matched the number of Board vacancies this year, there was no need to run an election process. In line with the BAG Constitution the six nominations were formally ratified at the BAG Annual Meeting on 29 September 2021 and we are delighted to confirm those Board Members:
- Tim Walder, Arcadis
- Graham Beardwell, Arup
- Alan Corner, Egis
- Graham Bolton, Mott MacDonald
- Catherine Workman, Pinsent Masons
- Richard Stafford, Turner & Townsend

BAG Sustainability Update- September
We are very excited to be sharing our third edition of our quarterly update from the BAG Sustainability Working Group. In it we share with you our new BAG Response to the Jet Zero Consultation as well as our new BAG Sustainability Policy. The BAG Sustainability Working Group and BAG Board has been developing both over the last months and I’m hoping it will be of much interest to our members and stakeholders alike. I must offer my thanks to all involved. It has been a fantastic effort. We also wanted to share with you the exciting news that BAG has been approved to become an official member of Sustainable Aviation and how we will be participating in this group moving forwards. The newsletter also highlights other activities BAG has organised and participated in recently within the sustainability arena.
Please find the BAG Sustainability September 2021 update here.

BAG Stand Sponsor Package- Join the UK Pavilion at inter airport Europe 2021 * Don't forget to book your stand now!*
The British Aviation Group will be hosting for the first time the UK Pavilion at inter airport europe on 9-12 November 2021 in a prominent area in Hall 6 adjacent to one of the doors leading to the external exhibition area. This will be the 23rd edition of inter airport europe, the world’s leading airport exhibition, which covers all areas of airport-related technology, equipment, and services, all in one place. As part of the TERMINAL segment, the show offers solutions and equipment for the construction and operation of terminal buildings, the architectural design, equipment, and planning stage of the airport. The DATA area covers airport IT systems, data management solutions as well as connected systems and IT processes to handle passengers, operations as well as air traffic. The RAMP segment covers ground handling, ground support equipment, runway constructions and installations.
Benefits of exhibiting within the UK Pavilion:
- Support pre-show and during the show by a dedicated Event Manager
- Entry to the UK Pavilion exhibitor brochure
- Access to catering and meeting table area on BAG stand
- Additional promotion of your presence by BAG and the event organisers
Our sponsorship package includes many benefits and is an affordable way to meet those all-important industry contacts. This is a great opportunity to be present at the show without taking a full stand and has proven very popular at other big shows such as PTE. BAG is therefore looking at the option to offer a similar sponsorship opportunity – i.e. a logo and lounge package for inter airport Europe.
Stand Package
- Logo on dedicated wall within the BAG UK Pavilion lounge (logos will be in Alpha order)
- QR code for lead capture opportunities
- Inclusion in the event guide
- Inclusion in the online event guide
- Support pre-show and during the show by a dedicated Event Manager
- Entry to the UK Pavilion exhibitor brochure
- Access to catering and meeting table area on BAG stand
Should this option be of interest to you please email Claire Parsons to register your interest by 24 September and she will send out cost and package information. For more information on the UK Pavilion, please click here.
