The recently concluded 10th edition of Singapore Airshow welcomed a record high 65,000 trade attendees to the Changi Exhibition Centre. Reflecting sustained confidence in the Singapore Airshow, close to 95 per cent of participating companies have also indicated their interest in returning for the 2028 edition.
With 65,000 trade attendees from more than 130 countries and regions, over 1,100 participating companies and approximately 1,300 delegate meetings conducted, the strong turnout underscores the Asia-Pacific region’s growing influence in shaping the future of aviation and defence.
“Achieving record trade attendance at our 10th edition reflects the strength and resilience of the aerospace and defence sector,” said Leck Chet Lam, Managing Director of Experia Events, organiser of Singapore Airshow. “This edition not only marks a major milestone for Singapore Airshow but also highlights the sector’s vitality, with our trade visitors engaging in dynamic discussions, sharing insights and exploring new collaborations across aviation and defence.”
The numbers tell the story of Singapore Airshow's unique position as Asia-Pacific's dealmaking powerhouse. GE Aerospace's US$300 million commitment to expand engine repair capabilities in Singapore through 2029 exemplifies the scale of transactions facilitated at the event. Multiple memoranda of understanding signed between Singapore's Economic Development Board and global aerospace leaders will expand MRO capabilities, establish technology centres of excellence and advance nextgeneration R&D initiatives, demonstrating how Singapore Airshow serves as the catalyst where Asia-Pacific's strategic aerospace ambitions take tangible form.
AeroForum, Singapore Airshow's dedicated thought-leadership platform, delivered its strongest edition yet with three days of high-level dialogue that will shape industry priorities. The section featured more than 50 speakers across 15 strategic sessions, and drew close to 1,000 delegates.
One of the highlights of the recently concluded airshow was AeroLens, a photography showcase highlighting the defining moments, memories and milestones of the past two decades. Featuring works from contributors including MAphotoSG and Plane’s Portrait Aviation Media, AeroLens presented a curated collection capturing the power, precision and emotion of flight.
