The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) is announcing the launch of its first EBAA Emergency Response Planning (ERP) Workshop to be held in Brussels, Belgium on 9, 10 September 2010. EBAA invites all interested business aircraft operators to participate.

The workshop will provide operators with guidance on what is required in the aftermath of a major incident or accident. Aligned with the recently released EBAA Emergency Response Guidance Manual, developed by EBAA and Gates Aviation LLP, together with members of an internationally-based ERP Steering Group, the workshop is laid out in three sections:

SECTION 1 - ERP Basic Principles

SECTION 2 - ERP General Guidance

SECTION 3 - ERP Framework

"At the end of the workshop, business aircraft operators will not only have learned what is required of them in respect of emergency response planning but participants should also walk away with an actual draft plan written around their business needs," explains Brian Humphries, President and CEO, European Business Aviation Association.

Interested operators can contact the EBAA Secretariat at + 32 2 766 00 70 or info@ebaa.org to order their ERP Guidance Manual and register for the workshop.
