IBAC expands worldwide partner network with six additions
Industry groups from New Zealand, Mexico, Turkey and Canada strengthen the council’s international business aviation network.

The International Business Aviation Council has expanded its Industry Partner programme with the addition of six organisations from across North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania.

The latest additions are BLAK Aviation, Clay Lacy Aviation, Gazali Aviation, Keystone Law, Manny and WOXOF Enterprises, bringing total participation in the programme to 31 organisations across five continents.

Kurt Edwards, IBAC director general, says: “It is encouraging to see the wide reach our partner programme has gained, and this is an impressive start for the year. We look forward to engaging with leaders from these successful business aviation companies to gather their insights, expertise and support for our continued advocacy work as the voice for business aviation worldwide.”

The additions reflect the increasingly international spread of IBAC’s membership base, ranging from established North American operators to emerging aviation support providers in Latin America and Turkey.

New Zealand-based BLAK Aviation joins the programme with a focus on bespoke charter operations across the South Pacific, while Clay Lacy Aviation strengthens IBAC’s US representation through its executive jet management, charter, maintenance and FBO activities.

Gazali Aviation adds Turkish flight support and consultancy expertise bridging European and Asian operational markets. Keystone Law brings legal experience spanning aircraft transactions, finance, regulation and litigation.

Mexico-based Manny recently expanded its visibility within the business aviation sector through the NBAA Schedulers & Dispatchers Committee Conference and continues to grow its flight support presence across Latin America.

WOXOF Enterprises, a newly formed Canadian operator near Vancouver, focuses on humanitarian flight operations in western Canada.

The organisations join existing Industry Partners including Bombardier, CAE, Daher, Jet Aviation, MD Onboard and MedAire.
