The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) today announced a continued collaboration with Blade Urban Air Mobility, Inc. (“BLADE”), a division of Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE: JOBY), to provide scheduled flights to attendees of the 2026 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), Oct. 20-22 in Las Vegas.
Riding the momentum of past sold-out years at NBAA-BACE, BLADE will again offer its popular, scheduled-by-the-seat transportation between the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) and the NBAA-BACE Aircraft Connection at Henderson Executive Airport (HND).
“We’re excited to once again offer attendees fast, convenient flights at NBAA-BACE through our partnership with BLADE,” said NBAA Interim COO Dan Hubbard. “BLADE pioneered by-the-seat vertical transportation – a model that will be vital to the future of advanced air mobility.”
“We are excited to continue building on our long-standing partnership with the NBAA,” said BLADE CEO Rob Wiesenthal. “Our service between the Las Vegas Convention Center and Henderson Airport highlights the value of vertical transportation by providing attendees with a fast, reliable alternative to ground congestion.
“NBAA attendees will not only enjoy BLADE’s urban air mobility services today using conventional rotorcraft but will also see the quiet and emission-free future with Joby’s display at the NBAA Aircraft Connection,” he added.
Joby representatives will be available at the BLADE check-in to share plans for introducing electric air taxis into BLADE’s network. NBAA attendees can learn more about Joby’s efforts to deliver scalable, sustainable air mobility in the near future.
Seats start at just $195 for NBAA members and $245 for non-members. Learn more and book flights for NBAA-BACE.
Taking place Oct. 20-22, NBAA-BACE is the world’s most powerful business aviation event of the year, showcasing the industry’s latest innovations and services, and hosting the leaders who are shaping its future.
