NBAA has rescheduled its 2026 White Plains Regional Forum due to pending runway construction at Westchester County Airport (KHPN). The annual Northeast business aviation showcase, originally slated to take place on June 3, has been moved to its new date of May 20.
For the past several years, the regional show has been held in and around the 52,000-sq-ft hangar at the Million Air FBO at KHPN, but FAA officials notified airport officials of plans for upcoming runway construction work as part of an agency grant. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, which is overseeing the project, will begin the project in the second quarter.
NBAA’s regional events typically attract hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of attendees. At the White Plains event, an aircraft static display featuring dozens of aircraft is set up on the Million Air ramp, just steps away from the exhibit hall.
“Our thanks to the airport officials who worked to update our plans for the forum and ensure that it will proceed in a smooth and coordinated manner,” said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. “We also look forward to continuing our longstanding relationship with the team at Million Air’s White Plains FBO facility, and we appreciate their flexibility in working with us to produce the forum on the event’s new date.”
