The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) is revamping the design of its static display for EBACE 2026 with a new location at the Geneva Airport, which will provide tighter control over entry points and significantly enhance overall security, organizers say.

The new layout is aimed at delivering a secure, flexible and customer-focused showcase for aircraft on display, they say.

The 40,000 m2 (431,000 ft.2) area includes airside and landside access and will allow for VIP guests to enter the static display area without going through the convention center first.

Exhibitors at the static display area will also have the option to host clients in bespoke hospitality structures, which will allow them to create tailored brand experiences on site.

“EBACE26 marks a decisive step forward for the show,” says Stefan Benz, EBAA CEO. “By relocating the static display to a dedicated site at Geneva Airport, we are giving exhibitors the freedom to build the kind of premium, private environment they need for their customers.

“The new layout will deliver the most secure perimeters ever implemented at an EBACE static display, with controlled entry points, clear zoning and improved visitor flow, reflecting everything exhibitors have told us they want.”
