EBACE25 will not feature a static aircraft display as the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) refines the event’s long-term strategy. The show, set for 20-22 May in Geneva, will instead emphasise quality conference content and maximised networking opportunities.

EBAA recently assumed sole responsibility for organising EBACE after previously co-hosting the event with the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA). The change follows an agreement that saw NBAA transfer its share of EBACE ownership to EBAA, allowing the Brussels-based association to steer the event’s future direction. This transition is part of a broader effort to realign EBACE with European business aviation priorities and ensure its continued relevance in a shifting industry landscape.

Holger Krahmer, EBAA secretary general, says: “2025 marks a transitional year as EBAA takes on the running of EBACE and we have an exciting vision for the show's future. Whilst there will be no static display this year, we are actively exploring opportunities for the future to be as flexible as possible in meeting the ever-changing needs of our industry.”

EBACE25 will also incorporate its Air Ops conference for the first time and bring back the Innovation Zone for startups. A redesigned floorplan will accompany an enhanced conference programme focussed on market intelligence and European business aviation developments. Plans also include an energised opening event and a structured meetup programme for attendees with shared interests.
