The International Business aviation Council (IBAC), the global voice of business aviation since 1981, is based in Montreal, Canada. It is a non-profit organisation led by the Director general Kurt Edwards. IBAC provides a single powerful voice for business aviation. 

As the global coordinating forum for regional and national business aviation associations, IBAC actively promotes the growth of business aviation, benefiting all sectors of the industry and all regions of the world. IBAC’s activities are focused around three key drivers: representation; advocacy and Communications; and Promotion of Safety and Best Practices. as the official observer organisation for business aviation at the International Civil aviation organisation (ICAO), IBAC is a highly influential force in all ICAO forums that affect business aviation. Policy makers and media increasingly understand business aviation to be an important component of the international air transport system. IBAC plays a global role in communicating the benefits of business aviation. IBAC-developed International Standards, such as IS-BAO and IS-Bah, are the industry standards for business aviation safety, globally recognised as essential quality brands.
