Where, when & organizer
Business aviation’s convention needs exhibition registration and a separate airport or static-display access plan.
- Hosted in
- Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
- Usual timing
- Usually autumn; location and format require confirmation
- Organized by
- National Business Aviation Association
The 2026 convention is published for 20–22 October at the Las Vegas Convention Center and Henderson Executive Airport aircraft display. Confirm each venue’s access and transport arrangements separately.
Check the organizer’s current program before committing to tickets or travel. Airport comparisons here describe the listed host or representative itinerary; rotating events require the actual edition’s venue.
Nearest airport options
| Airport | IATA / ICAO | Planning role |
|---|---|---|
| Harry Reid International | LAS / KLAS | Close to the Strip; international gateway with private handling |
| Henderson Executive | HSH / KHND | Dedicated business aviation option south of the city |
| North Las Vegas | VGT / KVGT | Alternative north of the city; assess aircraft and customs requirements |
Proximity does not establish aircraft suitability or permission to arrive. Your operator should assess the aircraft, payload, current procedures, border clearance and available handling at the selected gateway.
Ground & helicopter transfers
The final journey
Strip road closures during the Grand Prix change hotel and FBO access. Give the driver the approved hotel entrance, terminal and meeting time; walking routes inside the circuit perimeter may also require a ticket.
Can you arrive by helicopter?
Las Vegas sightseeing helicopters do not automatically operate as race-week airport-to-hotel transfers. Any charter needs an authorized operator, landing permissions and compatibility with current airspace restrictions.
Airport slots, parking & operating constraints
Henderson Executive and North Las Vegas publish PPR and a special-event-fee period for the 2026 Grand Prix, 17–23 November. They also publish PPR for the 2027 college championship, 20–26 January. These are airport-specific notices; confirm the applicable conditions, parking and fees with the chosen FBO and check FAA notices separately.
Track the accepted airport schedule, handling, aircraft parking and any permits separately. Ask whether the aircraft will stay or reposition, and check the current AIP, supplements and NOTAMs with the operating team. A venue ticket or FBO booking is not an air-traffic clearance.
Admission & event fees
Delegate registration, exhibitor access and static-display admission follow NBAA’s current conditions.
Published 2026 fee examples
The 2026 registration page lists regular full registration through 19 October at US$580 for NBAA members and US$900 for non-members, rising to US$710 and US$1,030 after that date. The US$170 last-day badge covers 22 October only and excludes the Henderson aircraft display, which operates on 20–21 October. Organizer’s ticket information
Checked 3 October 2026. Current sales conditions apply.
Use the official organizer’s current sales information for published ticket prices and access conditions. Where no current public tariff is verified, request a direct quote rather than relying on a guessed fee. Hospitality, invitations and ticket availability can change between editions.
Request an itemized aviation quote covering handling, parking, permits, fuel, repositioning and any event charges. Budget separately for hotels, drivers, helicopter connections and admission unless the contract explicitly includes them.
How to plan your trip
- Secure the right access. Confirm the actual year, venue, session and admission or invitation before fixing travel.
- Choose a workable arrival. Compare a primary airport and an approved alternative with the operating team, including weather, aircraft suitability and the final transfer.
- Reserve the aircraft stay. Obtain handling, parking and accepted arrival/departure arrangements. Record any repositioning and its cost.
- Connect the last mile. Book the correct vehicle, venue entrance and any authorized helicopter leg, with luggage and a ground fallback.
- Reconcile the itinerary. Check passenger documents, local dates, baggage, crew duty, return pickup and the contact authorized to approve changes.
