Volcanic Eruption Not Impacting Planning for EBACE2010
The recent volcanic eruptions in Iceland have not disrupted planning for EBACE2010, scheduled to take place from May 4 to 6 in Geneva. NBAA and the
European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) continue to monitor developments and stay in communication both with government officials involved in
international aviation system coordination and with representatives of the host site, Geneva Palexpo. At this time, EBACE is not expected to be
impacted by the situation. NBAA and EBAA will continue to keep Members informed of any developments that may affect planning for EBACE2010. For the
