EBACE to return to Geneva in new format for 2026

EBACE 2025 marked a "transition year" for the event, according to the organisers.

The European Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (EBACE) will return to Geneva next year and will then alternate around different European cities.

Organiser the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) promises a full static display at its traditional Palexpo venue in 2026 while opening up the show to adjacent industries.

EBAA says 2025 was a “transitional” year and claims it has already received “strong interest” from leading manufacturers.

“This is really exciting. By moving between Geneva and other European cities, EBACE will deliver a dual advantage for exhibitors, visitors and sponsors,” said Stefan Benz, interim MD at EBAA.

“Geneva offers a world-class platform with its proven static display and infrastructure, whilst the alternating years allow us to reach new audiences, new markets and showcase business aviation in a broader way.”

He added the new format will “bring fresh energy” and offer greater opportunities for collaboration with EBAA members, national associations and stakeholders.

Benz took over at the head of the EBAA in early July when Holger Krahmer stepped down as secretary general. Robert Baltus also resigned as chief operating officer to join Zeusch Aviation, a special missions operator, last month.

EBACE26 will take place at Palexpo, Geneva from 27-29 May 2026.
