Air Charter Expo at Biggin Hill is a resounding success
ACE has become a favourite show of business aviation industry professionals, and this year it attracted record numbers to Biggin Hill. As well as high quality interactions with colleagues, there was an impressive static.
The event brought together the best of business aviation in EMEA.

Air Charter Expo (ACE24), hosted by Business Air News and The Air Charter Association at London Biggin Hill airport on Tuesday 10 September, was extremely well-attended for its annual outing, and delegates are reporting an overwhelmingly positive experience at the show.

Visitor numbers were at an all-time high, and guests were treated to a wide array of aircraft on static display both inside and outside the hangar. A number of conference talks took place during the day, tackling current business aviation trends, and these sessions also received a sizeable audience.

Of particular interest on the static were Dassault's long range 6X, and Qatar Executive debuted its Gulfstream G700, for which queues gathered throughout the afternoon.

Air bp were on hand with complimentary coffee to fuel more than 80 exhibitors in the main hall, ranging from operators to brokers to FBOs and support companies.

Organisers and visitors both agree that the 2024 edition of ACE was its strongest showing yet, praising the quality of the conversations held and the productive one-day format.

Next year's show will take place on Tuesday 9 September; certainly a date for the diary for business aviation professionals in Europe and beyond.

Robert Walters, commercial director, London Biggin Hill airport says: “The Air Charter Expo has been another phenomenal success bringing the global business aviation charter sector together in the UK. With a wide range of international exhibitors, an impressive static aircraft display and valuable conference sessions, this record-breaking event once again showcased the best the industry has to offer. London Biggin Hill airport is proud to be the home of ACE and we look forward to welcoming everyone back for ACE 2025 on 9 September.”
