XLCS Partners’ Aviation, Aerospace & Defense team will be attending the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), taking place October 20–22, 2026 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Billed as “the world’s most powerful business aviation event,” NBAA-BACE brings together business leaders, aircraft owners, operators, government officials, manufacturers, and key stakeholders from around the world to connect, collaborate, and shape the future of aviation.

XLCS has advised on numerous A&D transactions across MRO, charter, FBO and parts distribution, among others.

See below for a few recent transactions:

• Sherwood Aviation acquired by HEICO
• Atlas Aerospace Accessories acquired by Aptus Aero
• Aero Controls acquired by Air Transport Components
• Airway Aerospace acquired by AxioAero Group

XLCS is also actively advising aviation businesses worldwide, with current engagements across engine components, business jet components and services, charter, FBO, and general aviation services.

We would love the opportunity to introduce our firm and answer any questions you may have regarding the current M&A market, valuations, how a business sale process works, recapitalizations, private equity, or raising capital. If you are attending the show and would like to schedule a time to meet, please reach out to Noah Shertzer.
