NBAA-BACE 2026 runs from 20 to 22 October at the Las Vegas Convention Center, West Hall, with the aircraft display at Henderson Executive Airport. The organiser's published list has 738 exhibitor entries and 40 sponsors, about 740 different companies and organisations once repeats are removed. We matched that list against our directory to show who is there, grouped by type of business, with links to their company pages.

NBAA-BACE is the annual Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition of the National Business Aviation Association. It brings together aircraft owners, operators, manufacturers, FBOs and suppliers, with an indoor exhibition, an education programme and an outdoor static display. Full event details are on our NBAA-BACE 2026 event page.

The numbers

The published list has 778 entries: 738 exhibitor entries and 40 sponsors. Of the 40 sponsors, 34 also have a stand. 602 of the companies on the list match a company page in our directory.

Many entries share a stand. Three fuel suppliers share one stand each with groups of FBOs and airports: TITAN Aviation Fuels at stand 3505 (30 entries), Avfuel at 3445 (24 entries) and World Fuel at 3905 (20 entries). Phillips 66 Aviation shares stand 1608 with its FBOs, and Aviation Week has 12 of its titles at stand 525.

Aircraft manufacturers

Most of the large business aircraft makers are on the list, several with aircraft at Henderson as well as a stand in the hall:

In advanced air mobility, Joby Aviation and BLADE share stand 5001, with Archer Aviation and seaglider maker REGENT also on the list. Embraer does not appear on the published list at the time of writing.

Engine makers include GE Aerospace (1533), Rolls-Royce (1145), Williams International (2177) and Pratt & Whitney Canada, which shares stand 2544 with RTX and Collins Aerospace.

The Aircraft Connection static display

Eighteen entries on the list have an aircraft display spot (stand codes starting with AC). By spot number:

The list does not say which aircraft each company will bring. NBAA lists the Aircraft Connection as open by invitation only on the morning of 20 October, to all attendees from 13:00 that day, and all day on 21 October.

FBOs, airports and fuel

This is the largest group on the list. Beyond the three shared fuel stands, look for:

Charter, fractional and aircraft management

MRO, engines and parts

Avionics, connectivity and flight operations

Interiors and cabin

Finance, insurance and market data

Training, careers and associations

The Career Fair area has its own stands, ending in CF. Eleven entries carry these codes, two of them check-in desks, including Nicholas Air, Garmin, USAIG and Air Charter Service.

Companies that are at the most shows

Our ranking of the 50 aviation companies at the most trade shows in 2026 and 2027 counts each company's appearances on organisers' published lists. 22 of those 50 are on the NBAA-BACE 2026 list, shown here with their total number of shows:

How to plan your visit

  1. Start with the NBAA-BACE 2026 event page. It has the dates, opening hours, education programme, getting there, parking and the full exhibitor list with a search box.
  2. To see which other shows a company attends, type its name into the exhibitor search on the aviation events calendar. The link opens with Gulfstream as an example.
  3. Plan two locations. The hall is at the Las Vegas Convention Center, while the aircraft are at Henderson Executive Airport, about 20 km away. NBAA runs a free shuttle from the convention center's Diamond 1 Lot on 20 and 21 October, every 20 to 25 minutes.
  4. Group meetings by stand. Many FBOs share the TITAN (3505), Avfuel (3445) and World Fuel (3905) stands, so one visit can cover many operators.
  5. Bring photo ID and business attire. NBAA requires government-issued photo ID to enter and sets business attire as the dress code. The last day, 22 October, closes at 15:00.

About this list

The exhibitor and sponsor list comes from the list NBAA publishes for NBAA-BACE 2026, as we collected it in October 2026. Organisers update these lists up to the show, so companies may be added, change stands or drop out. Stand numbers and display spots are as published and may change. Check the official site or the company before you travel. Where a company has a page in our directory we link to it; other companies are named without a link.
