The seventh annual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) seems certain to be the largest event yet, with more than 10,000 visitors expected at Geneva’s Palais des Expositions convention center to view more than 300 exhibits and 50 aircraft. But the show (May 22 to 24) will also be an important forum for some big issues now facing the business aviation community in Europe.
The rapid growth of EBACE has prompted organizers to move the main indoor exhibits from Palexpo’s Hall 7 to the more spacious Hall 6. This year, Hall 7 will house company chalets, industry meetings and press conferences, while continuing to provide direct access to the incomparably convenient static display at the adjoining Geneva Airport. At press time there was still some limited indoor exhibit space and a few slots on the static display available, but the show was fast approaching sell-out.
