The International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) announced the 10th anniversary of the International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH) programme at EBACE 2024 and honoured SRC Aviation of New Delhi, India, as the first ground handling organisation to reach the 10-year IS-BAH milestone. To commemorate the founding anniversary, IS-BAH will introduce a campaign focusing on its objective: ‘Elevating Ground Handling Safety.’

Kurt Edwards, Director General for IBAC, said, “We are grateful for SRC Aviation and their proactive approach to safety. They became the first organisation to implement IS-BAH in 2014 with a successful Stage 1 audit and have continued their leadership in the programme. Today, we recognise Bobby Chadha and the entire SRC Aviation team for reaching ten years with IS-BAH and thank them for their support and dedication to safety.”

Bobby Chadha, Managing Director for SRC Aviation, commented, “We are very proud to have been the first IS-BAH recognised ground handler on the planet, and now achieving the 10-year mark makes it even more special. Implementing IS-BAH has significantly benefited us by reinforcing our commitment to ground handling safety and elevating our service quality.”
