NBAA-BACE, the National Business Aviation Association’s convention and exhibition, runs October 20 to 22 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. It’s the biggest business aviation event in the world.
Gulfstream, Bombardier, Dassault and Textron bring their jets, and there’s a static display of aircraft alongside the exhibit halls. Avionics makers, engine suppliers, charter operators and FBOs fill the floor.
Manufacturers often use the show to announce new aircraft, orders and upgrades, so the first morning brings a burst of news. Sustainable aviation fuel, new cabin designs and pilot shortages are on the agenda.
For anyone who buys, flies, finances or services private jets, NBAA-BACE is the industry’s main annual gathering.
