Belgian Cockpit Association

The Belgian Cockpit Association (BeCA) is the only recognized professional association representing airline pilots in Belgium. It is self-funded and politically independent. BeCA works in close cooperation with other Belgian stakeholders and provides them with its large expertise on matters linked to the pilot profession and aviation safety.

Today, BeCA represents some 600 pilots working for the following companies: Air Belgium, ASL Airlines Belgium, Brussels Airlines, Challenge Airlines, EAT/DHL, Ryanair, and TUIfly Belgium, in addition to expatriate members, job seekers, and pilot students.

BeCA’s mission is to strive for the highest levels of aviation safety, to defend the pilot profession as a whole, to support pilot groups within their airlines, and to assist individual members facing trouble.

BeCA also represents its members at the European and international levels, through its active involvement in the European Cockpit Association (ECA) and the International Federation of Air Line Pilot Associations (IFALPA).
