For the first time, the British Business General Aviation Association joined Martyn Fiddler as joint hosts of the 13th Isle of Man Aviation Conference, bringing together 120 business aviation delegates at Douglas' Villa Marina venue. Conceived in 2007 to celebrate the Isle of Man aircraft registry (IOMAR), the event has become a calendar favorite. "It's refreshingly straightforward," said Dave Edwards, CEO of the Royal Aeronautical Society, chairing the event for the third year. Honeywell's Chris Bigwood and 4Air's Maureen Gautier will co-chair the event in 2026.
