EBACE: Europe’s Premier Business Aviation Event Embraces Innovation and Sustainability
The European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) has long been recognized as the centerpiece of Europe’s business aviation calendar. But as the industry evolves, so too has EBACE. Reimagined for today’s fast-moving world, this landmark event is no longer just a tradeshow—it’s a launchpad for innovation, a forum for thought leadership, and a dynamic space where the entire aviation ecosystem can connect and grow together.
Held annually in the heart of Europe, EBACE is now more than an exhibition—it’s a movement toward a more connected, sustainable, and forward-thinking aviation industry. Organized by the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA), the latest evolution of EBACE includes the full integration of AIR OPS into the event, streamlining its mission and expanding its reach.
A Reimagined Experience for the Aviation Industry
What makes this year’s edition of EBACE particularly exciting is its completely refreshed experience. From layout to programming, everything has been designed with industry needs and trends in mind. With a new floor plan, targeted conference sessions, innovative networking areas, and a renewed focus on sustainability, EBACE is now fully tailored to help professionals navigate a rapidly transforming landscape.
At the heart of these changes is a clear mission: to make EBACE a show designed by the industry, for the industry. Whether you're a business aircraft operator, manufacturer, maintenance provider, or tech innovator, the event offers powerful opportunities to showcase your capabilities and gain insights from some of the sharpest minds in business aviation.
Key Highlights of the New EBACE Format
EBACE has always been a place where deals are made and futures are shaped, but the recent enhancements make it even more impactful. The redesigned event focuses on what matters most to today’s business aviation professionals—connectivity, innovation, and sustainable growth.
Notable features of the reimagined EBACE include:
Integration of AIR OPS: Merging these two events under one roof creates a stronger, more unified business aviation platform.
