The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) has reaffirmed Geneva as the home of EBACE26, confirming the event’s return to the city with a full static display.

Following EBACE’s evolution in 2025, the first year fully organised by EBAA, the 2026 edition will build on a new vision for the show.

EBAA CEO Stefan Benz says: “We’ve been pleasantly surprised by the positive and supportive reaction to EBACE remaining in Geneva with a static display. Switzerland remains the centre of business aviation in Europe and Geneva combines outstanding connections, a strong financial ecosystem and a clear appeal to the industry’s end users.

“In previous years, the true value of Geneva as a location has not always been fully realised. For EBACE26, our goal is to build on that foundation and ensure the city’s strengths, its accessibility, professionalism and global outlook, are used to their full potential.”

To ensure the event continues to deliver for exhibitors and attendees, EBAA is introducing the EBACE Advisory Council, an invitation-only group of key industry stakeholders. The council will guide improvements in areas such as static display set-up, privacy and security, cost sensitivity and international benchmarks, while supporting the creation of selective, high-quality events designed to enhance the overall experience.

Looking ahead, the council will also contribute to ‘EBACE Goes to Europe 2027’, the first edition to take the show on the road. Future locations will be selected to reflect Europe’s diversity and address the regional regulatory and operational differences that shape the business aviation landscape, with Geneva remaining the event’s anchor.
