IBAC has announced that Terry Yeomans will be the first Director of the International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (ISBAH) Program from 10 August 2014.

Terry brings to IBAC 30 years of experience across the spectrum of business aviation activity, including working in operations, charter sales, ground handling, flight planning, and coordination of handling services.

“IBAC and IS-BAH will benefit greatly from Terry’s wealth of experience and knowledge in ground handling, coordination, operations, and voluntary standards compliance,” said Kurt Edwards, IBAC Director General. “We look forward to his coming on board in August to lead this new, global initiative.”

Terry comes to IBAC from Rockwell Collins Flight Services where he has been the Luton-based UK Manager for Customer Support, providing flight handling and coordination services for business aviation operators. He established the UK start-up office for Air Routing International, which he managed and grew until Air Routing’s purchase by Rockwell Collins. Under Terry’s management, the UK Air Routing office received ISO 9001 approval. Prior to Air Routing, Terry managed operations and charter sales for Magec Aviation Ltd., a Luton-based operator. He started in business aviation at McAlpine Aviation where he was a flight operations assistant and duty officer and provided support to the charter sales team.

Terry has served as an active member and elected Board official of the British Business & General Aviation Association (BBGA). He has often worked with BBGA to advocate for the needs of business aviation to national and local authorities. He has also been the BBGA representative on the IBAC Board of Governors and served as the Treasurer.

IS-BAH is a global code of ground-handling industry best practices with a safety management system (SMS) at its core. It will provide standardization to handlers and operators around the world to meet the coming SMS requirements from the International Civil Aviation Organization.
