Singapore Airshow 2026
Singapore Airshow is Asia's largest biennial aerospace and defence exhibition, staged at Changi Exhibition Centre. The 2026 edition ran 3–8 February — trade days 3–6 February, public days 7–8 February — with global OEMs, regional airlines and government delegations in attendance.
What is Singapore Airshow?
Organised by Experia Events, Singapore Airshow is the Asia-Pacific anchor of the global airshow calendar — the regional counterpart to Farnborough, Paris-Le Bourget and Dubai Airshow. Commercial aerospace, defence platforms, MRO, unmanned systems and the Asian supply chain share the Changi Exhibition Centre site.
Fleet and engine orders from Asian carriers are routinely announced here, and the co-timed conference programming draws regulators and airline leadership from across Asia, the Middle East and beyond.
Dates, venue and format
The 2026 edition ran 3–8 February at Changi Exhibition Centre — trade-only from Tuesday 3 to Friday 6 February, then public days over the weekend with the full aerial display programme.
Static and flying displays included regional air force aerobatic teams and front-line types; the exhibition halls group OEM chalets, national pavilions and the component supply chain.
Who attends
Airlines and lessors from across Asia-Pacific, defence delegations, global OEMs (Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, engine makers), MRO providers anchored on Singapore's Seletar/Changi cluster, and the regional tier-1/tier-2 supply chain.
Gulf interests are well represented: GCC carriers route heavily through Southeast Asia, Singapore is a major MRO hub for Middle East fleets, and several GCC sovereign and defence delegations attend.
Key themes
Audience mix
Why GCC procurement teams track this show
Singapore is the MRO and components hub many Gulf fleets already depend on — engine shops, component pooling and line stations for Middle East widebodies cluster here. The airshow's exhibitor list is a practical index of Asia-based suppliers with the certifications and scale to serve GCC operators.
For buyers building multi-region supplier benches, use the show to identify Asian alternatives to incumbent Western vendors, then compare them by category on Aviation Souk.

Venue & logistics
- Changi Exhibition Centre sits east of Changi Airport — shuttle services run from the airport/expo area; allow 45+ minutes from downtown
- Trade registration is enforced on trade days; public tickets only valid for the weekend
Travel tips
- Book hotels near Changi or along the East Coast for shortest transfers; downtown works with the shuttle
- February is hot and humid with afternoon showers — halls are air-conditioned, the static park is not
