There are changes coming to the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO), which are designed to make operations easier and simpler in the years to come. “We listened to what the operators wanted for their program. Operators needed a refresh on where it came from to know where it’s going,” said Bennet Walsh, program director of IS-BAO. “There’s a reason we do it, and that’s to be proactive, to reduce risk and to improve operations.” Walsh shares insight on the changes coming to IS-BAO in this week’s NBAA Flight Plan podcast.
The NBAA Flight Plan podcast, which ran from 2009 to 2025, provided an overview of important developments affecting NBAA members, and the association’s work to advocate for their interest. The archive of past episodes will remain available for your enjoyment. Please note that no new episodes will be released.
