Post-EBACE Cancellation, Geneva LSGG Will Lose ~215 Business Jet Premium Movements — Aero Friedrichshafen Fills Vacuum With 820 Exhibitors but Different DNA
Analysis
★★★ EBACE 2026 was cancelled April 10. AviGo data shows 2025 EBACE-week Geneva LSGG business jet movements grew 21.5% vs. non-show weeks (1,216 vs. 1,001 movements), an extra 18 movements per day. This ~215-movement show-week premium flow will directly evaporate in June 2026. NBAA had already withdrawn from co-hosting; BBGA terminated its dual-membership agreement — EBAA's role as Europe's unified business aviation platform is disintegrating. Aero Friedrichshafen opened April 22 with a record 820 exhibitors, but its traditional positioning is general aviation, not large-cabin static display. European business aviation show landscape is shifting from single-flagship to a fragmented multi-show model; NBAA-BACE's global dominance will further solidify.
