Excitement, Enthusiasm and Enduring Value All Characterized EBACE2016
As the 2016 edition of the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE2016) drew to a close, organizers said the show continues to demonstrate its standing as Europe’s foremost business aviation event. EBACE is jointly hosted by the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA). EBACE2016 featured more than 450 exhibitors, representing more than 40 countries. The sold-out static display of aircraft featured 60 aircraft – some were new to the event, or making a first show debut at EBACE. The footprint for the show was the largest to date. EBACE2016 attendees came from more than 100 countries, from the European region and beyond. Read more about EBACE2016.

EBACE2016 ended 26 May, and by all accounts the show was a strong one. “By the numbers this has been an enormously successful EBACE,” said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen, “Our static display is completely sold out, the exhibit footprint is our largest ever, we have over 450 exhibitors and we have over 400 reporters covering over 20 press conferences.” EBAA CEO Fabio Gamba agreed, “You can really feel that people are here to do business. They are actually looking at the show as the premier place to do business.” EBACE returns to Geneva, Switzerland next year from 22 to 24 May. View the video.

EBACE2016 Session Focuses on the Zika Virus and Business Aviation

The Zika virus has spread to countries that are expecting heavy flight activity this year, especially Brazil, Doug Carr, NBAA’s vice president of regulatory and international affairs, said at EBACE2016. “And a number of countries have put special procedures in place that affect business aviation,” he added. At a pop-up education session at EBACE2016, Carr and industry experts focused on what regions, health risks and quarantine procedures business aircraft operators should prepare for.
