ABOUT THE FAIR
The European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) is the premier trade show for business and private aviation in Europe. Since its inception in 2001, it has taken place annually at Palexpo in Geneva. The name EBACE reflects the close transatlantic ties in business aviation: the event is organized by the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) in cooperation with the U.S.-based National Business Aviation Association (NBAA). Together, they have established EBACE as a global industry meeting point.
Located in Le Grand-Saconnex, right next to Geneva International Airport, Palexpo offers ideal conditions for a trade show dedicated to air mobility. EBACE covers the full spectrum of business aviation—from maintenance, financing, and leasing to avionics and infrastructure topics. Increasingly, sustainable technologies such as electric flight, hydrogen propulsion, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) are taking center stage. In doing so, the show sends a strong signal in favor of ecological innovation in aviation.
A key feature of the event is its three themed conference stages: "Flight Daily News Live" addresses current topics related to sustainability and public perception; "AIROPS", now fully integrated into the exhibition, offers practical content for operators, airports, and ground handling services; while the "Innovation Stage" showcases forward-looking technologies.
EBACE attracts professionals from across the aviation industry: manufacturers, suppliers, financial service providers, operators, and infrastructure companies engage with decision-makers, investors, pilots, and technical experts.
The show is not only a must-attend event for industry insiders, but also a reflection of the dynamic evolution of business aviation. Thanks to its immediate proximity to the airport and excellent connections by rail and road, Palexpo is easily accessible—another reason why EBACE remains one of the central hubs of international business aviation.
The EBACE Geneva takes place annually, and therefore for the twentieth time previsibly in May 2026 in Le Grand-Saconnex.
