About the Association
The Association of British Aviation Consultants was formally constituted in 1972 with the main object of advancing the status of the professional aviation consultant.
In 1990 the name of the Association was changed to the British Association of Aviation Consultants (BAAC) and the requirement for the members to be of British Nationality was deleted.
In 1991 the Association was incorporated in England under the Companies Act 1985 and 1989.
