NBAA-BACE 2027
NBAA-BACE is the world's largest business aviation event — the annual convention of the National Business Aviation Association, returning to Las Vegas 19–21 October 2027 with exhibition halls at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the aircraft static display at Henderson Executive Airport.
What is NBAA-BACE?
The Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition assembles the entire bizav ecosystem: airframe OEMs (Gulfstream, Bombardier, Dassault, Textron, Embraer), engines and avionics, completions and refurbishment houses, FBO networks, charter/management groups, and the parts and MRO base behind private fleets.
The static display at Henderson Executive Airport puts the current product lines on the ramp — the buying environment for heads of state, corporates and UHNW principals' flight departments.
Dates, venue and format
NBAA-BACE 2027 runs 19–21 October across the Las Vegas Convention Center (exhibits, education) and Henderson Executive Airport (aircraft static display), with shuttle links between the two.
- Three days; education sessions and safety programming alongside the halls
- OEM order announcements and product launches anchor the news cycle
- 2028 moves to New Orleans — 2027 is the last Vegas edition of this cycle
Who attends
Flight-department leadership, charter and management companies, completions centres, FBOs, brokers, financiers and the OEM/supply ecosystem. International delegations are significant — Gulf VVIP and government-fleet operators among them.
Key themes
Why GCC procurement teams track this show
The Gulf operates some of the world's most significant VVIP and government fleets — head-of-state aircraft, royal flight operations and corporate fleets concentrated in Riyadh, Jeddah, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Doha. NBAA-BACE is where that supply chain (completions, cabin, parts, FBO partnerships) assembles.
Pair it with MEBAA (Dubai, December 2026) — the Middle East's own bizav show — and use Aviation Souk to compare interiors and AOG suppliers between events.
- Completions and refurbishment houses for Gulf VVIP fleets exhibit here
- Parts/AOG specialists serving BBJ/ACJ-class aircraft are concentrated on this floor
- MEBAA Show (Dubai, 8–10 Dec 2026) is the regional counterpart
Venue & logistics
- Exhibits at the Las Vegas Convention Center; static display at Henderson Executive Airport (~25 minutes south) — shuttles run between

Travel tips
- Harry Reid International (LAS) is the gateway; October convention season inflates rates — book early
