Move-in Schedule
Note: All hangar and pavilion exhibits must be set and in place by 15:00 on Monday, April 16, 2018, so that aisle carpeting can be installed.
If the exhibit space is not occupied by this time, ABACE management will consider it canceled by the exhibitor and assumes the right to use such space as deemed appropriate.
Pavilion and hangar exhibitors requiring additional hours for indoor set up should contact NBAA’s Maureen Cameron at [email protected] or + 1 (202) 783-9453.

Due to the high level of security at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, only one and a half hours are allotted for exhibit move-out on the static display. Exhibitors must plan their static display move-out accordingly and plan to have all exhibit materials – including signs, flags, banners, carpet, fencing and furniture – packed and the forklift ready within this one-and-a-half-hour timeframe.
Aircraft will be moved out of the static display in the approximate reverse order they were moved into the static display.
All aircraft must either depart or be returned to transient parking by 23:00 on Thursday, April 19, 2018.
