EBACE was for two decades the European business aviation industry's annual meeting, staged at Palexpo in Geneva and distinguished by the one thing a convention centre cannot provide: a static display of aircraft parked on the adjoining tarmac at Geneva Airport, reached on foot from the exhibition halls. The 2017 edition drew more than 12,000 visitors and 450 exhibitors with 60 aircraft on the ramp.
It is not currently running. EBAA announced on 10 April 2026, less than two months before the doors were due to open, that the edition scheduled for 2 to 4 June 2026 was cancelled, saying the format had not generated the momentum needed for a viable edition. Trade reporting also cited complaints about the cost of Palexpo space and Geneva accommodation, and security concerns dating from 2023, when climate activists reached the static display. EBAA says it remains committed to future events and is reconsidering what form they should take.
01Почему это важно
EBACE mattered because Geneva is the natural centre of European business aviation — it is one of the busiest business-aviation airports on the continent, sits within reach of the Alpine and Riviera destinations these aircraft serve, and hosts the banking and family-office clients who buy them. In our reading its cancellation is the more interesting fact than its history.
02Неделя вокруг мероприятия
When the show ran, its footprint on Geneva was narrow: Palexpo sits beside the airport, several kilometres from the old town, so the exhibition had little effect on the city while the business-aviation apron was at capacity. In a year without it, late May and early June are ordinary weeks in Geneva.
03Когда прибыть
Not applicable while the event is suspended.
04Где остановиться
Palexpo is next to the airport in the Grand-Saconnex district, about fifteen minutes from the centre, and the airport hotels are closest. The lakeside quays of the Rive Droite and the old town on the Rive Gauche are where most visitors to Geneva actually stay, both an easy train or tram ride away.
05Доступ и гостеприимство
EBACE was a trade event, open to registered industry professionals and accredited press rather than the public, with badges sold by the organisers and exhibition space and chalets sold to manufacturers and operators. Registered attendees for the cancelled 2026 edition were refunded.
06Где происходит светская активность
The show's social life was concentrated in the exhibitor chalets on the static display, in the Palexpo halls and in the airport-district and lakeside hotels; manufacturers hosted their own dinners in the city and on the lake.
