Press Release

Issued by The Air Charter Association.

August 23, 2017

Following the steady expansion of its activities, BACA - The Air Charter Association has announced that it is looking to employ a chief executive.

The association has been working harder than ever to deliver greater value to its members and it has now undertaken a number of projects suggested by members at its Symposium in May 2015. This includes BACA's participation in and co-hosting of ACE'17, its first ever conference and exhibition, as well as the imminent incorporation of the association to a Company Limited by Guarantee.

As an association of volunteers and only one employee, resources are, however, limited and BACA has reached a point where it feels the need to employ a chief executive. This will be initially for a part time role of 20 hours per week, on a fixed one year contract.

This role will require significant experience and understanding of the air charter market, and will need to be filled by a person who has a known presence that will allow them to command the respect of the membership, as well as external stakeholders at regulatory bodies, other associations and third party businesses, such as airlines.

The successful candidate will require the ability to lead and manage the affairs of the association, to organise and deliver projects of significant complexity, to manage budgets and to communicate effectively. Although the role carries a notional 20 hour requirement, there will need to be flexibility in delivery of those hours. Additionally, this role might suit a person with a current presence in the market, but that person will need to liaise and agree with council and the chairman whether attendance at particular trade show or other event is necessary to the role or whether attendance is in a private capacity or a mixture of the two.

If you are interested in this exciting position, please contact Richard Mumford at admin@baca.org.uk for further details.

Applications for the role will close on 8 September 2017.
