Bizav's best years beckon as EBACE show turns 10
The 10th annual EBACE show opens as a sell-out this morning.

The 10th annual EBACE show opens as a sell-out this morning. The scale of the event should serve as encouragement to Europe’s business aviation community that it is at last turning the corner on a tumultuous period of downturn and uncertainty.
Brian Humphries, president and CEO of the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA), reported that the EBACE halls are packed with 436 companies–six-percent up from 411 last year. He added that 65 aircraft were booked into the static park, which is also up on 2009, while attendee numbers were heading for just over 9,500, again 6-percent up on the last show.

Ed Bolen, president and CEO of the U.S. NBAA, said, “By any standards EBACE has been an enormous success, far more than just products and marketing.”
