Membership of BAR UK expands

The value of airlines joining BAR UK has been shown by the enrolment of four new members.

BAR UK is pleased to announce that applications have been accepted for:

  • Air Astana
  • Belavia
  • Oasis Hong Kong Airlines
  • Silverjet

Chairman, Bob Atkinson of Air Canada, said 'At a time when the airline industry faces a continuing growth of regulatory, security, border control and environmental issues, there has never been a better time for airlines to belong to an organisation working full time on their behalf.

'BAR UK more than fulfils that role.

'By themselves, most airlines simply do not have the resources to dedicate to the enormously wide range of work and networking that is required to meet all these challenges; BAR UK does. It is very pleasing to see that our four new airline members recognise the value and opportunities of joining, and the organisation looks forward to working for them, and with them, in the times ahead'."

BAR UK also takes great pleasure in announcing that Heathrow Medical Services has joined as an Associate Member.
