Baltic Air Charter supports "Help for Heroes"

“Help for Heroes” (H4H) which provides much needed support for wounded British servicemen and their families was the beneficiary of the Baltic Air Charter Association’s (BACA) Spring Lunch last week, held in the magnificent opulence of the Carpenters Hall in the City of London.  Mark Elliot, Head of External Relations at the fund, gave a moving speech telling of the growth of H4H from its low key beginnings in October 2007.  Since then it has raised £92m, of which 100% goes towards helping wounded servicemen and women.

The packed hall heard that BACA, founded in 1949 as an offshoot of the Baltic Exchange, the maritime organisation, was running at record numbers with 162 corporate member companies (including 15 new this year).  It is essentially an organisation representing the ‘backroom’ people occupied with commercial aviation, particularly in the air charter industries and markets.  Membership includes air brokers, charter airlines, airports, handling agents, FBOs and business aircraft operators, plus consultants involved with the industry. www.baca.org.uk www.helpforheroes.org.uk
