SAN LUIS OBISPO, California (SBP) – July 1, 2026 – ACI Jet announced today that record-breaking business jet manufacturer, Bombardier, and leading aircraft management and charter service provider, Executive Jet Management (EJM), have committed to title sponsorship of the “NorCal SoCal Corral.” The event, hosted by ACI Jet at its headquarters in San Luis Obispo, California (SBP), will take place September 1-2, 2026.
Now in its second year, this event unites the Northern California Business Aviation Association (NCBAA) and the Southern California Aviation Association (SCAA)—two regional associations under the umbrella of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA)—for a unique program of networking, education, and spirited competition.
The two-day event will kick off with a welcome mixer, followed by a full day of programming beginning with an industry panel discussion on legislative initiatives impacting California business aviation. Following the panel discussion, attendees are transported to a park in nearby Nipomo, California for a bracketed kickball tournament between the two associations. The day concludes with a tri-tip beach barbecue and bonfire in Pismo Beach, California, served by members of the ACI Jet MRO team.
In the inaugural kickball tournament last year, the NCBAA secured a victory and is featured on “The Corraler,” the event’s championship trophy, which is on permanent display in ACI Jet’s FBO lobby (KSBP).
“California is one of the most important markets for business aviation in the U.S. It’s supported by an industry that drives innovation, economic growth and highly skilled jobs,” said Paul Sislian, Executive Vice President, Aircraft Sales and Bombardier Aftermarket Services. “Bombardier is proud to partner with Executive Jet Management in sponsoring the NorCal SoCal Corral, a unique event that brings together California’s regional NBAA associations. We are delighted to support an event that celebrates collaboration and the strength of California’s business aviation community.”
“EJM is proud to be a Title Sponsor of the NorCal SoCal Corral again this year,” said Brian Hirsh, President of EJM. “Together with ACI Jet and Bombardier, we’re excited to support an event that unites the business aviation community through collaboration, education, and shared passion.”
Attendance is limited to 200 industry professionals. Registration is exclusive to current members of the NCBAA and/or SCAA. Membership provides critical support for safeguarding business aviation interests within the State of California. Additional sponsorship opportunities remain available for organizations looking to reach this influential demographic in an engaging, professional environment.
