For First Time in Its History, NBAA Convention Sells Out in Advance

With Exhibitor records already broken several weeks before opening day, the NBAA 59th Annual Meeting & Convention (NBAA2006) promises to be a memorable one. The exhibit floor has completely sold out for the first time in Convention history, with close to 1,150 Exhibitors registered and 5,233 10-foot by 10-foot booth spaces sold, an almost 9 percent increase in booth spaces compared to the 2005 show.

This year's event also will feature 11 fixed-wing aircraft and four helicopters at the Orange County Convention Center, the most aircraft ever shown on the exhibit floor. The Static Display of Aircraft likewise has sold out, with more than 115 aircraft expected at Orlando Executive Airport.
