After several years of being somewhat regarded as upstarts on the fringes of the industry, advanced air mobility (AAM) pioneers are preparing to take center stage at one of the world's biggest business aviation trade shows in May. The annual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition in Geneva will feature an enlarged Innovation Zone and eVTOL aircraft developers and other AAM ecosystem stakeholders will be prominent speakers in the daily conference program.
