Bombardier will feature actor and pilot John Travolta in an exclusive “Pilot Talk” session during NBAA-BACE 2026 in Las Vegas, alongside static displays of its Global 8000, Global 6500 and Challenger 3500 business jets. Titled “Beyond the Flight Deck”, the session is scheduled for 20 October at 3:00 p.m. at Bombardier’s display, forming part of the company’s customer-engagement programme for the three-day event.
Travolta is expected to discuss experiences from 50 years of flying and the milestones that have shaped his career as a pilot. He holds type ratings for more than a dozen aircraft, including a recent certification on a Bombardier Global Express.
Bombardier will also present “L’Expérience by Bombardier”, an immersive hospitality-chalet exhibit focused on aircraft design, craftsmanship, innovation and customer support. The company’s presence will run from 20 to 22 October, with the aircraft display providing access to its flagship large-cabin models and super-midsize Challenger 3500.
The programme also includes Bombardier’s participation as a Platinum sponsor of Corporate Angel Network’s “Fund an Angel” event on 21 October. The Travolta session is planned as an exclusive engagement; no details have been provided on access arrangements or the specific topics he will address beyond his flying experience.
