Canadian Business Aviation Association joins SAF campaign group

CLIMBING. FAST. campaign partners have welcomed the Canadian Business Aviation Association (CBAA) as a formal member of the growing sustainability advocacy campaign focused on advancing the business aviation industry’s commitment to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The partnership was announced at the 2024 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) in Las Vegas.
The announcement comes one year after the advocacy initiative launched at the 2023 edition of NBAA-BACE.
CLIMBING. FAST. is a multi-media advocacy initiative that educates policymakers and opinion leaders about business aviation’s many societal benefits, including the industry’s essential role in supporting jobs and economic activity, connecting communities, helping businesses succeed, providing humanitarian support and leading the way in aviation sustainability through innovation on the ground and in the air.
CBAA is the second international association partner to join CLIMBING. FAST. after the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) joined in May. The new partnership will help foster deeper international collaboration on regulatory issues and sustainability innovations and investments.
“CBAA is thrilled to be part of the CLIMBING. FAST. mission in Canada, which helps propel the industry forward through groundbreaking innovation in sustainability,” said CBAA CEO Anthony Norejko.
“Business aviation is a global industry, unified by a commitment to sustainability, and this new partnership underscores that reality in Canada and abroad.”
“NBAA is honoured to have CBAA help carry the CLIMBING. FAST. banner across North America, and strengthen the advocacy initiative at the international level,” said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen.
“This is a pivotal moment for business aviation and having a multinational presence for the campaign is an important asset in highlighting the industry’s value and sustainability leadership around the world.”
