Washington, DC, October 12, 2000 – The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) 53rd Annual Meeting & Convention, held on October 10 to 12 at the Ernest N.

In addition, there were 150 aircraft on Static Display at Lakefront Airport.

The NBAA Annual Meeting & Convention is the business aviation industry’s largest and most efficient annual gathering of buyers and sellers. It often is the only opportunity during the year to do direct, side-by-side comparisons of nearly every product and service available to company flight departments. It also is the industry’s leading venue for new product announcements and introductions, as well as a forum for numerous informational seminars.

The Association will be returning to New Orleans again next year for the 54th Annual Meeting & Convention on September 18 through 20, 2001, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans.
