The business aviation industry is gearing up for Air Charter Expo 2026 (ACE26), a one-day show which will take place at London Biggin Hill airport once more on Tuesday 8 September from 0900 to 1700.
The show is hosted collaboratively by Business Air News, the airport and The Air Charter Association (ACA).
More than 2,000 delegates have registered to attend, and they will be able to explore the exhibition floor where more than 130 companies are showcasing their services.
There will be indoor and outdoor static displays hosting a wide array of aircraft. Highlights include a Falcon 6X demonstrator from Dassault and a Qatar Executive Gulfstream G700. Thirteen different manufacturers are attending the event, with larger aircraft on display than in previous years. A Saab 2000, a rare sight, is also part of the display.
During the morning, the ACA is running conference sessions on a range of topics, including the news that ACE will be staging a show-within-a-show at AERO Friedrichshafen in 2027 as ACE Regional. Rotary, commercial aviation, cargo and the world of smaller operations will all be discussed, along with a concluding ‘Innovation Fireside Chat’ with keynote speakers
For the first time, additional networking opportunities are available in the Hospitality Pavilion. Visitors who sign up to the Business Air News app, which features a dedicated ACE section, will be able to arrange meetings with other delegates.
Air BP will be on hand for coffee as the company celebrates 100 years in business.
Show organiser Bradley Wright comments: “We’re very excited to host a show that continues to grow and, if last year was anything to go by, we are in for an excellent day. The floor plan and apron are both full, and we have been running a reserve list, which indicates demand. There’s not a single spot to spare.
“The inside and outside static displays are self-contained, so once you’re in, you’re in and it’s easy to navigate. We are delighted with the visiting aircraft. There really is so much to take from the day, and we are confident that guests will have a productive visit and come away feeling that they have achieved a lot, touching base with key industry colleagues.”
