NBAA AND BLADE TO OFFER SCHEDULED SHUTTLE FLIGHTS FOR NBAA-BACE 2026

The by-the-seat air service returns for this year’s Las Vegas convention, with Joby Aviation on hand to outline plans for introducing electric air taxis into BLADE’s network.

The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) has announced a continued collaboration with Blade Urban Air Mobility, Inc. (“BLADE”), a division of Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE: JOBY), to provide scheduled flights for attendees of the 2026 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), running from 20 to 22 October in Las Vegas. Building on several sold-out years at the event, BLADE will again offer its scheduled, by-the-seat transportation between the Las Vegas Convention Center and the NBAA-BACE Aircraft Connection at Henderson Executive Airport.

 

“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 area to share the company’s plans for introducing electric air taxis into BLADE’s network, as NBAA-BACE attendees learn more about Joby’s work to deliver scalable, sustainable air mobility. Seats on the shuttle service start at $195 for NBAA members and $245 for non-members, with flights available to book now ahead of what NBAA describes as the world’s largest civil aviation trade show.
