The European Regions Airline Association is hosting its General Assembly 2026 in Ireland for the first time since 2012, taking place from 6 to 8 October 2026 at the ICC Belfast. The event brings together around 400 senior leaders, decision-makers and aviation experts representing over 220 businesses across the aviation ecosystem. The theme is The future of regional aviation: connectivity at a crossroads.
The conference features sessions and interactive workshops covering sustainability, new fleet technology, operational efficiency, safety, security and cargo market trends. Main presentations and the exhibition hub are stationed at the ICC Belfast, while the ERAA Awards Dinner takes place at Titanic Belfast. Featured speakers include Filip Cornelis, Darragh O’Brien and Caoimhe Archibald. Previous ERAA General Assemblies were held in Estoril in 2025, Seville in 2024, Innsbruck in 2023, Vilamoura in 2022 and Citywest in 2012.
The event brings together aviation industry professionals from across Europe. The General Assembly provides a platform for discussions on regional aviation connectivity. The conference programme includes presentations, workshops and networking opportunities.
The ERAA represents 58 regional airlines and more than 150 companies involved in European aviation. The association has promoted the interests of regional aviation by ensuring safe, efficient and sustainable air transport that connects Europe’s regions and communities.
Montserrat Barriga, Director General of ERAA, shared “Europe’s connectivity depends on far more than just the busiest routes but on thousands of regional air services that provide essential links for communities, businesses and public services across the continent, often in markets where there are few or no alternatives.”
