Brian Humphries Remains President
EBAA on Monday announced the appointment of Fabio Gamba as CEO
of the Association, effective 1 September. He will take over from
Brian Humphries who will remain in the role of EBAA President. In
his full-time position as CEO, Gamba will run the EBAA business
from the Association’s Brussels headquarters. He will also
take on the significant role of actively liaising with EBAA
members.
Fabio Gamba
Gamba was most recently the Deputy Secretary General of the
Association of European Airlines (AEA). Appointed in 2006, he
primarily focused on promoting the interests of legacy carriers and
established strong ties with the European Institutions and EU
Member States.
Gamba began his professional career at the Civil Air Navigation
Services Organisation (CANSO). He then joined the Boeing Company,
where he assumed different positions before becoming Deputy
Director, Business Development and Strategy Europe.
“In order to realize its truly amazing potential and
deploy its full benefits to the economy, business aviation needs
fair and equitable rules that recognize its specificities," Gamba
said. "Having spent the last five years fighting the airline
corner, I now look forward to using that expertise to help business
aviation grow and develop its vital role in Europe.”
Brian Humphries
Brian Humphries joined EBAA as Chairman in 1996, holding this
post until 2004, while simultaneously fulfilling his role first as
Managing Director of Shell Aircraft and subsequently CEO of Shell
Aircraft International. Following his retirement from Shell in 2005
he became CEO of EBAA, and in 2009 assumed the dual role of
President and CEO. In his continuing capacity as EBAA President,
Humphries will play an active strategic part in support of the
Board of Governors.
“We are delighted to welcome Fabio to EBAA as our new
CEO,” says Humphries. “As EBAA’s roles,
responsibilities and activities grow in line with our rapidly
expanding membership, and the fast changing European
infrastructure, Fabio brings just the right blend of energy, skills
and knowledge that we need to sustain our success. Indeed, his
extensive experience in the airline sector will be a particular
asset in continuing to convince European leaders of the vital role
of our sector in the European economy.”
