Former BATA Chairman recognised in New Year’s Honours List

January 4th, 2016

Responding to the news that former Chairman of the British Air Transport Association (BATA), Dr Barry Humphreys, has been awarded a CBE in the New Year’s Honours list, BATA Chief Executive Nathan Stower said:

“I am delighted that Barry’s long and distinguished service to UK aviation in both the private and public sectors, as well as academia, has been recognised in this way. His contribution to the successful partial privatisation of NATS, the expansion of Virgin Atlantic, and the development of BATA, are just some of his most recent accomplishments over a career spanning more than forty years. It is also fitting that his charitable work, including his support for Airlink and The Loomba Foundation, has been recognised, showing that aviation can be a force for good.”
