This year’s NBAA-BACE will feature the show’s first-ever Maintenance Pavilion that will provide maintenance vendors with an opportunity to exhibit their products and services in a dedicated space. The Maintenance Pavilion will be located near the keynote speaker area, advanced air mobility zone, and other "big-draw attractions," including the indoor aircraft display. It also will be adjacent to the convention center exit to the outdoor airport display shuttle busses.

“The last two annual NBAA Maintenance Conferences were canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Frequent attendees and exhibitors to that conference told us how much they missed the opportunity to come together,” said Stewart D’Leon, NBAA’s director of environmental and technical operations. “We wanted to do something special for the maintenance community this year because they missed out on dedicated in-person maintenance conferences two years in a row. We are thrilled to present this new opportunity and hope maintenance exhibitors—especially smaller organizations that aren’t always able to exhibit at NBAA-BACE—will take advantage of it.”

In addition to maintenance providers, the Maintenance Pavilion will also host a silent auction to provide travel funds for recipients of maintenance scholarships. NBAA-BACE will be held October 12 to 14 in Las Vegas.
