Chalets

NBAA categorizes chalets into three different classes.

  • Class 1 – Original Aircraft Manufacturers (OAMs)
  • Class 2 – Special Aircraft Modifications, Upgrades, Charter or Timeshare/Membership
  • Class 3 – Used Aircraft Exhibits

Review the eligibility requirements and pricing rules for each class below.

Class 1 – Original Aircraft Manufacturers (OAMs)

OAMs are eligible for any size chalet. To be eligible for the “With Indoor Space” price, OAMs must occupy a minimum indoor space based on the size of the chalet. OAMs are eligible for up to 2,000 square feet of complimentary indoor exhibit space.

Chalets up to 2,500 square feet – $12.25 per square foot. Chalets 2,500 square feet or less are not required to have an indoor exhibit space.

Chalets between 2,500 and 4,000 square feet – $12.25 per square foot when also booking a minimum of 600 square feet of indoor exhibit space; $36.70 per square foot if no indoor space, or less than the minimum, is reserved.

Chalets over 4,000 square feet – $12.25 per square foot when also booking a minimum of 1,200 square feet of indoor exhibit space; $36.70 per square foot if no indoor space, or less than the minimum, is reserved.

Class 2 – Special Aircraft Modifications, Upgrades, Charter or Timeshare/Membership

Exhibitors showcasing aircraft with modifications etc. or charter or timeshares etc. are limited to chalets up to 1,750 square feet.

Additionally, Class 2 exhibitors must occupy an indoor exhibit space of at least 1 square foot of indoor space for each 25 square feet of outdoor ramp space.

In cases where the ratio requires a space slightly larger than a common indoor exhibit size, NBAA will round down to the nearest common exhibit size. For outdoor exhibits smaller than 2,500 square feet, the minimum indoor booth size is 100 square feet.

Class 3 – Used Aircraft Exhibits

Aircraft dealers, brokers and individual companies selling used aircraft are limited to chalets up to 1,750 square feet.

The fee for chalet space is $12.25 per square foot. Class 3 exhibitors are not required to have an indoor exhibit space to receive the “with indoor space” pricing.

Chalet Space Calculations

For the purposes of calculating chalet space, NBAA defines any chalet as: a tent, structure or vehicle used for hospitality or private meeting space that is greater than 400 square feet of occupied or covered space.

Exhibitors should consider the following conditions when planning their outdoor space:

  • Any outdoor raised deck that is greater than three inches high (including any railing) shall have its overall area added to the chalet space calculation.
  • Any RV or trailer with a retractable awning shall add the size of the awning to the chalet space calculation.
  • Any RV or trailer with a slide-out option shall add the depth of the slide-out to the chalet space calculation.

In some situations, tents or structures smaller than 400 square feet will be considered chalets. These situations may include, but are not limited to: tents with hard walls and doors, tents that require early setup times (prior to aircraft arrivals), or the use of two smaller tents to create one larger tent greater than 400 square feet.

Many chalet options use tent structures that are sized using metric measurements. To simplify the application process, NBAA uses the following standard conversion rates for all metric tent structures.

CHALET METRIC DIMENSIONS NBAA’S STANDARD CONVERSION SIZE
10 meters 33 feet
15 meters 50 feet
20 meters 66 feet
25 meters 82 feet
30 meters 99 feet
35 meters 115 feet
40 meters 131 feet
45 meters 148 feet
50 meters 164 feet

Co-exhibitors

Companies who will be sharing exhibit space with another exhibitor must notify NBAA in advance by completing the Co-Exhibitor Registration Order form. Review the rules for 2023 NBAA-BACE Co-exhibitors.

Co-exhibitor registration fee $750
Co-exhibitors will receive one complimentary badge with their co-exhibitor registration and will receive their own registration credentials. They may also purchase additional badges at the reduced exhibitor rate through their exhibitor badge registration portal.
