October 22, 2024
At the 2024 NBAA-BACE show, sustainability will continue to be a major theme as the business aviation industry continues to push toward a net-zero emissions future.

Attendees lined up awaiting the opening of “The world’s most powerful business aviation event,” as the annual National Business Aviation Association convention (NBAA-BACE) is billed. Organizers expect about 19,000 attendees to visit the nearly 800 exhibitors at this year’s show.

The Joby Aviation aircraft on display in the Convention Center entryway served as the backdrop for the FAA’s release of a Special Federal Aviation Regulation establishing requirements for the safe and efficient integration of AAM aircraft into the nation’s system.
