The bus stop to reach the EBACE aircraft display had to be moved to another area because Ukrainian refugees are being hosted in Geneva Palexpo's Hall 7. In previous years, this hall has been used as an indoor loading/unloading area for static display buses.

Like other European countries, Switzerland has been receiving Ukrainian refugees since the beginning of the war, according to a Geneva Palexpo spokesperson. “In Geneva, the ‘Hospice General’ is in charge of the care and reception of refugees," the spokesperson added. "A large number arrive in Hall 7 and are housed temporarily before finding more suitable accommodation in the city. About 1,000 places are available. Unfortunately, this war is still going on and Palexpo remains a privileged place to allow those who have fled the war to find a safe and welcoming place before being able to return home."

Attendees preparing to visit the EBACE aircraft display should know that the new bus boarding area is accessible from Hall 6—about 80 meters (260 feet) to the left of the previous access. “It is no longer necessary to go down the stairs—new access is on the same level through door 613," the spokesperson told AIN. "Proper signage will help visitors find the exact location. No luggage, even cabin size, will be authorized in buses serving the EBACE 2023 aircraft display. Only handbags will be authorized, but they must be checked before boarding. Waiting lanes will be organized from inside Hall 6, the bus pickup and drop-off area will be just outside door 613.”
