ELEVATING BUSINESS AVIATION

ONE OF THE LARGEST GATHERINGS OF THE BUSINESS AVIATION industry came to a conclusion after three days of business, discussions, display and way forward. The 2023 Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), hosted by the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), took place from October 17 to October 19. The event not only highlighted the industry's determination to achieve net-zero flight emissions but also celebrated the innovators and technology propelling this vision forward. The event brought together visionary industry leaders who presented exciting product launches and breakthroughs in propulsion, efficient aircraft, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) that reduce emissions while enhancing mobility. Keynote speakers, including tennis legends Andre Agassi and Stefanie Graf, as well as Shark Tank investor and FUBU CEO Daymond John, inspired audiences with stories of resilience and positive change in people's lives.

The event featured over 800 exhibitors, showcasing innovative concepts, including unmanned aircraft systems and AAM vehicles in the Emerging Tech Pavilion. Henderson Executive Airport and the Las Vegas Convention Center served as the stage for unveiling remarkable new aircraft, including Textron Aviation's Cessna Citation CJ3 Gen2, the Honda Echelon, Embraer Phenom 100EX, Airbus ACJ220, Beechcraft Denali, and Bombardier's certified pre-owned Challenger 300.
