The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) has opened ticket sales for its 2026 EBACE show. Its annual trade show will be held in Geneva from June 2 to 4 and include a newly formatted static display of aircraft.
The Brussels-based industry group said that the floor plan for indoor exhibits is now being finalized. Hall 6 inside the Palexpo convention center at Geneva Airport will feature a new operators’ lounge this year at EBACE for intimate discussions between exhibitors and clients, as well as redesigned networking zones and three conference stages.
According to EBAA, the static display will include “a strong line-up” of business jets and turboprops. The organizers have had “strong manufacturer engagement” with one undisclosed major OEM understood to be a confirmed participant in the static display, with further announcements anticipated ahead of the show.
Last year, EBAA confirmed that Geneva will remain the home location for EBACE with a static display in even years, with the event expected to rotate to other European cities—sans static display—in odd years. The refreshed static display will offer discreet direct access to VIP visitors, who will not have to access this area through the main exhibit hall.
Advisory Council Influence
“EBACE is the European stage for business aviation and this year’s show is being shaped by the industry, for the industry, with open dialogue between the EBAA and the EBACE advisory council members about how the event needs to evolve,” said EBAA CEO Stefan Benz.
The show’s conference this year will feature a media stage with planned discussions focusing on innovation, safety, and the industry’s future workforce. Organizers said there will be updates on European regulation, compliance, and technological developments.
“When considering the format for EBACE 2026, we recognized several elements of the show needed to change, which couldn’t be solved by moving location,” Benz added. “Our conversations and studies showed us that Geneva is where EBACE should be with a static display and where we can attract the right audiences.
“We know it is a commitment to come to EBACE, which is why we’re building a strong show for attendees, where they can network, see the latest aircraft, gather insight and marketing intelligence and, ultimately, do business.”
