More than 100 state-of-the-art aircraft go on display at 2016 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), which opens today in Orlando, US.

Organised by the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) at the Orange County Convention Centre and Orlando Executive Airport, the event runs from today until November 3 and is expected to attract around 27,000 business aviation professionals from across the United States and around the world.

The annual convention is the premier opportunity for aircraft purchase decision-makers, entrepreneurs and other business leaders to meet, conduct business and discuss current trends involving the use of aircraft for business purposes.

The more than 100 state-of-the-art aircraft will be featured at two static displays – one outside at Orlando Executive Airport (ORL), and the other inside the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC), allowing visitors to see a variety of models up close, and make side-by-side comparisons to help determine which might be best for their business needs.

Also, as many as 1,100 of the world’s leading aviation-related companies are exhibiting their products and services. These include avionics manufacturers, maintenance companies, engine manufacturers, legal experts, financial consultants and more.

Over 50 education sessions will be organized throughout the event, to help operators and professionals operate as safely, efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. These sessions provide a wealth of information on a variety of subjects, with content led by experts in their fields, to benefit not only those experienced in using an airplane for business, but also those considering it for the first time.
