Strong Showing From Participants, Industry Leaders Point To The
Value Of Biz-Av Worldwide
The 10th annual European Business Aviation Convention &
Exhibition (EBACE) ended its three-day conference with sold out
exhibit and static display spaces, 11,174 Attendees and a general
air of optimism that the global industry's economic outlook is on
the upswing.
Event organizers pointed to positive signs, such as the sense of
enthusiasm among Exhibitors and Attendees. Brian Humphries,
European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) president and CEO,
and Ed Bolen, National Business Aviation Association (NBAA)
president and CEO, were pleased at the global support for business
aviation.
"This was by any standard a very successful anniversary for
EBACE and a tremendously successful Convention," said Humphries.
"On the heels of such a difficult period for the aviation
industry, this year's EBACE had a particular excitement surrounding
it, and I am encouraged at the possible signs of our industry
turning around."
Bolen agreed, saying "This 10th EBACE was certainly a strong one
in all respects. The level of Exhibitor and Attendee participation
in this show was a welcome boost to our industry, and demonstrates
that business aviation remains highly valued around the world."
Halls 6 and 7 of Geneva PALEXPO and the Static Display of
Aircraft were sold out with 436 Exhibitors and 65 aircraft out at
Geneva International Airport. In addition to the value EBACE
provided for Exhibitors and Attendees, the event celebrated a
successful 10-year joint partnership between EBAA and NBAA to host
the event. It also showcased the essential role of business
aviation in supporting jobs, mobility and economic opportunity
around the world.
Education sessions, the backbone of EBACE programming, covered a
variety of international and local aviation issues. Panels of
industry experts explained their cautious optimism about the
business aircraft market and the steps the business aviation
communities will take to meet their environmental stewardship
goals. Additional sessions covered operational safety, and the
latest upgrades to aircraft and technology.
Next year's EBACE will return to the Geneva PALEXPO from May 17
through 19. EBAA and NBAA have secured dates for EBACE through
2015.
