Discover the EBAA Yearbook 2026

By Arthur Thomas, Director Industry Affairs and Market Intelligence EBAA 

The latest edition of the EBAA Yearbook is now officially available to members. As every year, the publication provides one of the most comprehensive overviews of business aviation activity across Europe, based on a full year of operational data from 2025.

Designed as a practical and highly accessible reference tool, the Yearbook 2026 brings together a wide range of pre-calculated market intelligence, allowing users to instantly access key insights into the European business aviation industry.

At the core of the publication are the 40 Country Profiles covering the entirety of geographical Europe. Each profile offers a detailed snapshot of business aviation activity within a specific country, including traffic volumes, economic impact, employment figures, and the industry’s top operational connections. Together, these profiles provide a unique overview of how business aviation contributes to national and regional economies across Europe.

The Yearbook also includes dedicated analyses of the 50 busiest airports for business aviation in Europe. Each airport profile presents a complete overview of 2025 activity, helping readers better understand operational trends, traffic patterns, and the role of major hubs within the European network.

Another key section focuses on the 50 most active aircraft models operated in Europe. These profiles analyse a full year of operations for each aircraft type, including utilisation patterns, average flight distance, operational geography, and flight activity trends.

Building on the addition introduced last year, the Yearbook 2026 also features an extensive Market Profiles section. In this context, a “market” refers to the connection between an origin and a destination entity. These analyses cover both domestic and international markets, providing detailed insights into the realities of business aviation connectivity across Europe.

Domestic markets include major internal networks such as France-France, Germany-Germany, Italy-Italy, or Switzerland-Switzerland, while international markets analyse key cross-border connections such as France–United Kingdom, Switzerland–Germany, Italy–Spain, and many others. These profiles help illustrate the real operational dynamics of European business aviation and the importance of connectivity between economic centres.

Altogether, the EBAA Yearbook 2026 serves as a highly ergonomic and data-driven directory for anyone seeking fast, reliable, and detailed information about business aviation in Europe.

The Yearbook is exclusively available to EBAA members through the EBAA platform.
