Washington, DC, Oct. 6, 2025 - The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) today announced a renewed partnership with Blade Urban Air Mobility, Inc. (BLADE), now a division of Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE: JOBY), to provide scheduled flights to attendees of the 2025 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), Oct. 14-16 in Las Vegas.

Building on the previous years of sold-out success at NBAA-BACE, BLADE will offer scheduled by-the-seat transportation between the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) and the NBAA-BACE Aircraft Connection at Henderson Executive Airport (HND).

Flights will accommodate up to seven passengers and allow attendees to experience the benefits of urban air mobility, coinciding with the recent acquisition of BLADE's passenger business by Joby Aviation, Inc., a leader in the electric-powered air mobility space.

"We are pleased to once again partner with BLADE to provide fast and convenient flights at NBAA-BACE," said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. "BLADE pioneered the urban, by-the-seat vertical transportation model, which will be an essential component of the future of advanced air mobility."

"We are excited to build 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 static display of its next-generation aircraft," he added.

Joby representatives will be available at the BLADE check-in area to share plans for introducing electric air taxis into BLADE's network. NBAA attendees can learn more about Joby's efforts to deliver scalable, sustainable air mobility in the near future.

Seats start at just $195 for NBAA members and $245 for non-members. Learn more and book shuttle flights for NBAA-BACE.

Taking place Oct. 14-16, NBAA-BACE is the world's most powerful business aviation event of the year, showcasing the industry's latest innovations and services, and hosting the leaders who are shaping its future. Learn more about NBAA-BACE.
