With just under four weeks to go until the 2025 European Business Aviation Convention &amp; Exhibition (EBACE) opens in Geneva, organizer EBAA has announced plans to kick off the show with what it’s billing as a welcome celebration from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on May 20. According to EBAA, the evening event will “set the tone for a new chapter in the show’s evolution” as the European industry group seeks to make its own mark on EBACE after taking control of it from former partner NBAA last year.
For the first time in EBACE’s two-decade history, this year’s show at the Palexpo convention center will not include a static display of aircraft. However, organizers are introducing features such as networking areas and a revised configuration for the exhibit hall.
With the exception of helicopter group Leonardo, none of the main business aircraft manufacturers are exhibiting. However, more than 100 companies, including leading service providers and technology specialists, will be present for the show, which runs from May 20 to 22.
“We’re investing in quality over quantity, setting the stage for a stronger return in 2026,” said EBAA COO Robert Baltus. “Planning a show of this scale takes time, and we have a long-term vision for EBACE. Europe needs one central business aviation event where the whole industry gathers, driven by collaboration, innovation, and community. We are excited about what’s ahead and proud to bring that vision to life.”
Other confirmed exhibitors for EBACE 2025 include Lufthansa Technik, 4Air, Falcon Aviation, Rolls-Royce, and FlightSafety International.
AIN Media Group will publish daily editions at EBACE 2025. If your company is exhibiting and plans to have news at the show, please contact show daily editor Chad Trautvetter to arrange interviews: <a href="mailto:ctrautvetter@ainonline.com">ctrautvetter@ainonline.com</a>
