Business aviation gathers in Geneva

EBACE, Europe’s premier business aviation show, held its tenth annual gathering last week in Geneva.  Gloomy skies and rain did not affect the upbeat mood apparent in the halls and out on the static park, which this year featured 65 aircraft.  EBAA registered 11,000-plus delegates and 436 exhibitors, 4% up on last year.  Business aviation traffic in Europe is increasing again, according to Eurocontrol, releasing data that highlighted year on year growth of 11%.  At the welcome media lunch at the Palexpo venue, EBAA CEO Brian Humphries highlighted considerable progress has been made over the past decade in the industry with the number of business aircraft flying in Europe doubling from 2,000 in the 1990s to 4,000.  Alison Chambers reports in full next week. www.ebace.aero
