What Singapore Airshow does

Singapore Airshow is Asia's most influential international aerospace and defense exhibition, held biennially at the Changi Exhibition Centre in Singapore. Organized by Experia Events Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-incorporated private company, the event brings together high-level government and military delegations, senior corporate executives, and leading aerospace and defense companies to forge partnerships and conduct business in the Asia-Pacific region. The 2026 edition drew 65,000 trade attendees from over 136 countries, 1,100 exhibiting companies from 50+ countries, 255 VIP delegations from 97 countries (with 1,888 curated meetings), 150+ commercial and cargo airlines, and 16 national pavilions.

The show operates a multi-feature program architecture comprising Static Displays (latest aircraft on exhibit), Flying Displays (aerial performances by military and civilian aircraft), AeroForum (thought leadership sessions including a Sustainable Aviation Forum with McKinsey & Company), AeroCampus (next-generation aviation talent development), What's Next@Singapore Airshow (innovation and startup showcase operated with Starburst), AeroPerks (proprietary rewards program for participants), AeroLens (industry visual content program), and the newly launched Space Summit (a dedicated space industry vertical).

Singapore Airshow's business model rests on three primary revenue streams: (1) exhibition booth sales to aerospace and defense companies booking space at the show, (2) tiered sponsorships from strategic partners including McKinsey & Company (Sustainable Aviation knowledge partner), Aviation Week Network (Strategic Media Partner), Singapore Airlines (Official Airline), and CarbonClick (Sustainability Partner), and (3) participation and delegate fees from trade attendees and VIP government and military delegations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; booth and delegation bookings are handled via a dedicated sales team. The event is operationally supported by endorsements from CAAS, MINDEF, and the Singapore Tourism Board, and enjoys industry recognition including the Singapore Tourism Awards 2021 Outstanding Business Event.
