The bus stop to reach the EBACE aircraft display had to be moved to another area because Ukrainian refugees are being hosted in Geneva Palexpo's Hall 7. In previous years, this hall has been used as an indoor loading/unloading area for static display buses.

Like other European countries, Switzerland has been receiving Ukrainian refugees since the beginning of the war, according to a Geneva Palexpo spokesperson. “In Geneva, the ‘Hospice General’ is in charge of the care and reception of refugees," the spokesperson added. "A large number arrive in Hall 7 and are housed temporarily before finding more suitable accommodation in the city. About 1,000 places are available. Unfortunately, this war is still going on and Palexpo remains a privileged place to allow those who have fled the war to find a safe and welcoming place before being able to return home."
