The National Business Aviation Association's annual convention was held in person earlier this month for the first time in two years. Last year, NBAA canceled its traditional convention due to the pandemic but held a scaled-down virtual show. This year's event took place in the new West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center and included a Covid vaccination requirement to attend. In this podcast episode, AIN editor-in-chief Matt Thurber and senior editor Kerry Lynch discuss how the show went and what exhibitors thought about the lighter attendance.
