NBAA-BACE 2026 to Be Held October 20–22 in Las Vegas
Why It MattersA single show pairing static aircraft at Henderson with exhibits and education sessions in Las Vegas shows how business aviation concentrates product launches, regulatory discussion and workforce recruitment into one annual event.
What happened
NBAA-BACE 2026 will take place October 20–22 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and Henderson Executive Airport. NBAA has announced an aircraft lineup that includes Gulfstream, Bombardier, Dassault, Textron Aviation, Pilatus and other manufacturers.
Beyond aircraft, exhibitors will show avionics, cabin interiors, engines and ground-handling equipment. A new Horizon Stage will bring headline speakers onto the exhibition floor.
More than 70 education sessions will cover safety, maintenance, regulation and workforce development. The programme also includes career support and dedicated networking opportunities.
Industry impact & what to watch
The split between the Las Vegas Convention Center and Henderson Executive Airport follows the usual shape of a major business-aviation show: hardware that has to be seen in person sits on the ramp, while suppliers of avionics, interiors, engines and ground equipment fill the exhibition hall. Putting both under one banner lets buyers compare aircraft and the systems that go inside them within the same three days.
The education programme points to where the segment expects its pressure to be. Safety, maintenance, regulation and workforce development sharing the agenda with new products reflects that operators and suppliers are working on technician supply and compliance alongside fleet decisions. The career support element speaks directly to the last of these.
The next concrete marker is the opening on October 20, when the Horizon Stage lineup and the aircraft on display at Henderson become visible in full.
