NBAA-BACE 2025: A Record-Breaking Event in Las Vegas
The 2025 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition concluded as one of the most successful shows in the event’s history, showcasing unprecedented industry growth and innovation. The event, held from October 14-16 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and Henderson Executive Airport, featured packed exhibit halls, standing-room-only crowds, and a nearly non-stop showcase of major manufacturers.
Several major developments were highlighted at the show, including the world debut of Textron Aviation’s Cessna Citation Ascend midsize jet and Otto Aerospace’s Phantom 3500 business jet. Additionally, Bombardier announced its Global 8000 had achieved a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.95, making it the world’s fastest subsonic civil aircraft. The Indigenous Aircraft Connection showcased everything from vintage warbirds to cutting-edge eVTOL aircraft.
“From the moment we opened the doors, it was clear this NBAA-BACE would be a monumental gathering for our industry,” said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. “With boundless energy and great vibes, this show captured all that is unique and exciting about business aviation.”
The event is set to return to Las Vegas next year from October 20-22, 2026.
