Textron Aviation To Skip NBAA-BACE

News Discussion
1

Textron Aviation has announced that the company, along with subsidiary TRU simulation "will not participate as exhibitors at the 2024 [NBAA-BACE].” The sudden withdrawal, with less than a month to go before the annual show, this year being held in Las Vegas, comes after Gulfstream and Dassault also decided against participation. Gulfstream has said it will concentrate marketing activities at its sales center in Savannah, Georgia. That leaves Bombardier as the only large airframer to display at NBAA-BACE but several smaller companies like Pilatus and Daher are still in.

I’m going to guess Textron didn’t want the bad publicity of putting on a glitzy show at NBAA-BACE while saying ‘no’ to striking workers’ wage demands. And/or having those same workers picketing the displays in front of the assembled press.

Fine with me. From my experience and 50+ years of flying, NBAA is nothing but a bunch of arrogant butt kissers anyway. I’ve been twice. Never again.
