Aircraft Display Exhibit Space Assignment

  • NBAA reserves the right to limit the size of exhibits based on overall space availability.
  • Assignment of all exhibit space is at the sole discretion of show management.
  • Exhibitor locations will be based upon the overall size of the requested space, number of aircraft to be on display, size and orientation of chalets, required aircraft towing lanes, and airport operational considerations.
  • NBAA reserves the right to change the aircraft display layout or exhibitor location at any time, including prior to or during NBAA-BACE, if NBAA, in its sole discretion, determines that such change is in the best interest of the event.
  • NBAA makes every effort to accommodate each applicant’s preferred location. If all space preferences indicated by the applicant have been allocated, however, NBAA will assign the best available space.
