Post-EBACE Cancellation, Catarina Air Show Upgraded to 2026 H1 Global Business Aviation Core Display Platform
●EBACE●AIN●Catarina●Textron●Gulfstream●Bombardier Global
Analysis
EBACE 2026 was cancelled April 10 (EBACE typically runs in late May, ~6 weeks from original opening date). This makes May 21–23 Brazil São Paulo Catarina air show and August's LABACE the 2026 H1 global major business aviation display platforms. AIN confirmed on April 28 that major business jet OEMs have confirmed Catarina attendance, with 'all private aviation segments displayed.' Textron Citation Ascend has completed European debut; Gulfstream G700/G800 series delivery active; Embraer as Brazilian local OEM expected to have significant participation. Whether Bombardier Global 8000 has begun delivery requires further confirmation. For brokers and OEMs: Catarina's strategic importance is notably elevated due to EBACE absence. Confidence ★★ (multi-source news cross-verification).
