Sudhir Nayak elected to IBAC governing board
In an indication of India’s growing influence in the global aviation space, Sudhir Nayak, Business Head of the Mukesh Ambani’s aviation venture Reliance Commercial Dealers Ltd, has been elected to the Montreal-based International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) governing board.
This is the first time in the history of IBAC that an Indian national would be a part of the prestigious aviation body.
Nayak, who has been elected for the post of Treasurer at IBAC, would hold this executive position at IBAC for a three year term, commencing January 2017.
IBAC is the flag bearer of business aviation worldwide, with permanent observer status at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the UN Specialized Agency for aviation matters.
“It is an honour and a matter of privilege to be part of the governing board at IBAC. We look forward to greater interactions on this global platform to enable a more efficient policy structure for our sector and inculcate best practices from across the world,” Nayak, who is also member of governing board of the Business Aircraft Operators Association (BAOA), said in a statement to PTI.
The BAOA is the apex body of domestic business and general aviation operators.
“This is the first time that we will see an Indian being part of the Governing Board of IBAC. His appointment is a testament not only to his skills, but also to the growing scope of India’s Business Aviation sector,” Jayant Nadkarni, BAOA President, said on Nayak’s election to the post.
Nayak’s election to the executive position in IBAC is a unique honour and exemplifies India’s growing recognition in global business aviation frontiers, Nadkarni added.
“It is an honour and a matter of privilege to be part of the Governing Board at IBAC. We look forward to greater interactions on this global platform to enable a more efficient policy structure for our sector and inculcate best practices from across the world,” said Sudhir Nayak, Member of Governing Board, BAOA.
IBAC comprises 14 business aviation associations around the world, representing the industry for their 11,000 members in 77 countries across six continents.
It actively works to ensure that global aviation standards reflect business aviation’s needs and benchmarks industry-leading standards for safety and efficiency. Shaq Thompson Authentic Jersey
