The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) and the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), co-producers of the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE), are calling for nominations for the 2010 European Business Aviation Award.

The award honors individuals and/or companies who have made a significant contribution to the advancement of business aviation in Europe, and is presented each year to one or more individuals and/or companies during EBACE, the only European exhibition focusing solely on business aviation.

It is the only major European event focused solely on business aviation, bringing together business leaders, government officials, manufacturers, corporate aviation department personnel, indeed all those involved in every aspect of business aviation, which now represents 8% of European air transport.
