Washington, DC, Aug. 27, 2025 - The most important developments shaping business aviation's path to net-zero carbon emissions will be in the spotlight when industry leaders gather for the 2025 National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), taking place Oct. 14-16 in Las Vegas.

The show will once again include a Business Aviation Sustainability Summit, taking place Oct. 14 and 15, with education sessions dedicated to taking a deeper look at the most pressing issues facing the industry.

For example, Congress has remained active on policy proposals for incentivizing the production, availability and uptake of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which can reduce business aircraft emissions by up to 80% over legacy fuels.

One recently passed congressional budget bill includes an additional two-year extension of the Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit incentivizing production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to 2031; another bill under consideration would expand alternative fuels research.

On the regulatory front, the certification of low- or zero-emissions advanced air mobility (AAM) aircraft is drawing closer to reality, since the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) release at last year's convention of a Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) to establish requirements for the safe, efficient integration of the next-generation aircraft into the nation's aviation system.

"As the industry continues innovating toward its sustainability aims, NBAA-BACE offers a vital opportunity for the business aviation community to come together, highlight recent breakthroughs, and chart the path forward for an even more sustainable future," said NBAA Senior Director, Environmental and Technical Operations Stewart D'Leon.

The NBAA-BACE Business Aviation Sustainability Summit education sessions include:

• Sustainability Game Show
• Can AI Improve Bizav Operations and Sustainability?
• SAF Challenges and Opportunities: Market Trends for Sustainable Aviation Fuel
• Taxing Times: Sustainability Regulations & Fees Are Changing the Cost to Fly
• FBOs Preparing for the Future of Sustainability: SAF & Electric Aircraft Infrastructure
• From Legacy to Liftoff: The Next Generation of Aviation Leadership

To help reduce the convention's carbon footprint, NBAA-BACE organizers are offering an Exhibitor Sustainability Pledge to encourage best practices in show production. Learn more about the pledge.

The NBAA-BACE week will also feature a special milestone: the two-year anniversary of the industry's CLIMBING. FAST. initiative, which was rolled out as part of the 2023 convention.

Taking place Oct. 14-16, NBAA-BACE is the world's most powerful business aviation event, showcasing the industry's latest innovations and services and hosting the leaders who are driving business aviation toward a bright and sustainable future. Learn more about NBAA-BACE.
