EBAA confirms exhibitor lineup and national association hub for EBAA Week 2026 in Brussels
Why It MattersPlacing national associations on the same floor as the exhibition, operations, safety and summit programmes suggests European business aviation is pulling national and pan-European priorities into one annual meeting point.
What happened
EBAA has confirmed its exhibitor lineup and a dedicated Association Hub for EBAA Week 2026, which takes place November 16-18 in Brussels.
The Association Hub will bring together national business aviation associations from France, Spain, Ireland and Italy. It is described as a shared space for dialogue on national priorities and industry challenges across Europe.
The exhibition sits alongside the AIROPS operational exchange, the Business Aviation Safety & Innovation Conference (BASIC) and the European Business Aviation Summit (EBAS). Participants will be able to move between the exhibition floor and the conference programmes.
Industry impact & what to watch
Business aviation in Europe is regulated and represented at two levels at once: pan-European bodies such as EBAA, and national associations that handle local airspace, slot, tax and operating rules. A dedicated hub for four national associations puts those two layers in the same venue during the same week as the safety, operations and policy programmes.
For exhibitors and attendees, the format means commercial meetings, operational exchanges and policy discussions can happen without separate trips. The mix of AIROPS, BASIC and EBAS alongside the exhibition ties day-to-day operations to safety work and to the wider European policy debate.
The next milestone is the event itself on November 16-18, when the participation of the French, Spanish, Irish and Italian associations in the hub will show how much of the national agenda is brought into the shared space.
