 As the 9th Annual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE2009) drew to a close, event organisers cheered the show's place in the record-books as the third-largest EBACE ever, with 10,917 registered Attendees.
"This year's EBACE has met and exceeded all expectations," said Brian Humphries, EBAA president and CEO. "I take great encouragement from the level of participation and support we had for this year's event, and from all the favorable comments we have received from Exhibitors."
NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen agreed. "As everyone knows, the business aviation community has been confronting one of the worst economic storms anyone can remember," Bolen said. "That EBACE would have its third-largest turnout this year demonstrates the value of the show to our industry."
Humphries and Bolen lauded Exhibitors' participation in the event. A total of 411 Exhibitors, occupying approximately 1,900 booth spaces, were at Geneva PALEXPO, and a Static Display of Aircraft at nearby Geneva International Airport included 65 business aircraft, up from 60 the previous year.
