IBAC promotes the growth of business aviation, benefiting all sectors of the industry and all regions of the world.

As a non-profit, international trade association, IBAC proudly represents the interests of business aviation -- for the industry, by the industry -- through its official observer status at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), worldwide advocacy, and globally recognized, voluntary safety standards programmes: the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO™), and the International Standard for Business Aviation Handlers (IS-BAH™). 

Founded in 1981, the IBAC organization is managed by the Director General and an international staff and is directed by a Governing Board comprised of representatives designated by each of its 15 member associations from around the world.
