British Helicopter Advisory Board

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The British Helicopter Advisory Board was formed in January 1969 at the instigation of some leading members of commercial helicopter companies in the UK. They realised that there was no single authoritative voice speaking for the whole helicopter industry similar to organisations which represent other major aviation interests.

The BHAB is a non-profit making organisation whose main objective is to promote the use of helicopters throughout the United Kingdom and to bring to the attention of potential users the advantages of owning or chartering a helicopter.

The BHAB has a small permanent Secretariat which is based at Fairoaks Airport in Surrey.

Past Chairmen have included the 4th Baron Glenarthur, who is now President. The current Chairman is Mr B M Humphries.
