Founded in 1947 and based in Washington, DC, NBAA represents more than 11,000 companies and professionals across the business aviation industry. The association provides over 100 products and services to its members, advocates for the industry before Congress and federal regulators, and hosts NBAA-BACE, the world's largest civil aviation trade show. For nearly 80 years, NBAA has worked to foster an environment that allows business aviation to thrive in the United States and around the world.

NBAA's mission is to help its members operate safely and successfully. Hangar Direct supports that mission by giving airport operators, FBOs, and hangar owners a modern tenant management system built specifically for aviation. Our platform replaces spreadsheets, manual tracking, and scattered email chains with a single place to manage leases, tenants, insurance compliance, and documents.


The annual NBAA-BACE is the world's largest civil aviation trade show, bringing together business leaders, operators, manufacturers, and service providers. It is where the business aviation community connects, discovers new technology, and shapes the future of the industry.

NBAA hosts regional forums, conferences, seminars, and Professional Development Program (PDP) courses throughout the year, providing business aviation professionals with education, networking, and career growth opportunities.
The official publication of NBAA, Business Aviation Insider covers operations, safety, policy, and industry trends to keep members informed on the issues that matter most.
