EBAA Cancels 2026 Geneva EBACE Show Due to Insufficient Support

The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) announced April 10, 2026, that the 2026 EBACE show will not proceed in Geneva as originally scheduled. The organization cited insufficient momentum and industry support for the new format established over three years as the primary factors behind the cancellation. The event was set to take place June 2-4 at the Palexpo convention center.

Cancellation Details and Context

EBAA spokespersons stated that while efforts were made to reintroduce static displays, the format failed to generate enough interest to ensure viability. Contributing factors included declining exhibitor numbers and broader economic pressures affecting marketing return on investment. Environmental activism and prior protests also influenced recent format decisions.

Future Event Plans

The association emphasized that this cancellation applies only to the 2026 edition, noting a commitment to producing an event for 2027. Industry stakeholders are now assessing alternatives while EBAA works to align future formats with market needs. The decision marks a significant adjustment to the European business aviation event calendar following years of format adjustments.
