While economic considerations forced NBAA to cancel its first annual Light Business Aircraft (LBA) show originally scheduled for March this year, the organization is not ignoring the owners and operators of smaller aircraft and will include many of the educational offerings it had originally planned for LBA at the NBAA 62nd Annual Meeting and Convention, October 20 to 22, in Orlando.

“When NBAA announced the Light Business Airplane show in April of 2008, we launched it based on feedback we had received from members who own and operate light business airplanes,” Mike Nichols, NBAA’s vice president of operations, education and economics told AIN. “Ultimately, in January, we had to make the decision to not launch that inaugural show in 2009 because of the economic environment.”
