SINGAPORE, Dec. 18, 2025 -- Singapore Airshow, one of the most influential international aerospace and defence exhibition, will return from 3 - 8 February 2026 at the Changi Exhibition Centre. Marking two decades of defining the future of flight, the biennial event will once again bring together global industry leaders, government and military delegations, innovators and investors to exchange ideas, forge partnerships and chart the next era of aerospace and defence.
Since its debut in 2008, the show has grown into one of the world's leading platforms for aviation and defence, serving as a critical gateway to Asia Pacific's dynamic markets. The 2026 edition will unveil new perspectives, fresh participants and expanded opportunities for an industry in transformation.
Trade attendees can expect more than 1,000 participating companies from more than 50 countries/regions. In addition to returning exhibitors such as Airbus, AVIC, Bell, Boeing, COMAC, GE Aerospace, Gulfstream, Leonardo, Lockheed Martin, MBDA, Rolls-Royce, RTX, Saab, SIA Engineering, ST Engineering and Thales, attendees can also look out for the presence of next-generation defence technology companies like Helsing, Quantum and Shield AI.
Country pavilions expected at the event include Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States, with expanded presence from both the Italian Trade Agency Pavilion and the China Pavilion.
"Reaching our 10th edition is a significant milestone for Singapore Airshow. Over the past two decades, the Airshow has evolved alongside the industry, serving as a key global meeting platform for stakeholders across the aviation and defence ecosystem. In 2026, we are proud to expand our horizons further with new features and partnerships that reflect the industry's transformation. This edition underscores our continued commitment to supporting the region's growth and fostering meaningful collaboration," said Mr Leck Chet Lam, Managing Director of Experia Events, organiser of Singapore Airshow.
Introducing Space Summit 2026: Expanding Frontiers
Singapore Airshow 2026 will introduce a brand-new feature — Space Summit 2026, held from 2 – 3 February 2026 at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands, marking a key expansion of the show's scope from air to the frontiers of space.
Officially endorsed by Singapore's Office for Space Technology & Industry (OSTIn) and the Economic Development Board (EDB), the Summit positions Singapore as the hub for space dialogue and collaboration in Asia-Pacific. Themed "New Frontiers: Shaping a Responsible and Inclusive Space Future," it will convene global policymakers, space agencies, investors and innovators to discuss topics such as infrastructure, sustainability, investment and the in-space economy — a sector projected by McKinsey to reach US$1.8 trillion by 2035.
By bringing the space agenda into the Airshow, the Space Summit underscores Singapore's growing role as a collaborative hub for the expanding space economy and encourages cross-sector engagement across aviation, connectivity and emerging technologies.
Collaborating Towards a Sustainable Future
Sustainability continues to anchor the Singapore Airshow's vision for the industry. The 2026 edition will place sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and net-zero initiatives in the spotlight, showcasing real-world applications and technologies that move aviation closer to decarbonisation.
Neste, the global leader in renewable fuels, joins as the Sustainable Aviation Partner to share insights at AeroForum on SAF adoption, supply chain transformation and enabling greener aviation operations. Attendees can also offset their travel-related emissions through the CarbonClick counter, first introduced in 2024, reinforcing the Airshow's commitment to responsible travel.
Through a series of forums, showcases and sustainability partnerships, Singapore Airshow 2026 will continue to drive conversations and collaborations that accelerate the transition towards a cleaner, more resilient and sustainable aviation ecosystem.
Nurturing Innovation and Emerging Technologies
Innovation remains at the heart of the Singapore Airshow. What's Next, our startup showcase will return with a sharper focus on emerging and dual-use technologies across aerospace and defence. The 2026 edition will also feature expanded exhibition zones spotlighting digital aviation, sustainable propulsion and future defence technologies, fostering connections between global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and technology start-ups.
These platforms will reinforce Singapore Airshow's role as the nexus for collaboration between established industry players and the next generation of innovators shaping the aerospace landscape.
A Platform for High-Level Exchange and Collaboration
Beyond the exhibition, the Singapore Airshow continues to serve as a vital networking hub through its exclusive trade days and strategic forums.
The AeroForum at Singapore Airshow 2026 will feature a comprehensive programme spotlighting the industry's most pressing priorities, including market and budget outlooks, autonomy and human machine teaming, cybersecurity, sustainable aviation pathways, advanced air mobility, workforce transformation and the global race to commercialise next generation technologies. These sessions bring together thought leaders and technical experts to share insights across both civil and military domains.
Our AI-driven AeroConnect business matchmaking platform will further enhance networking by connecting participants with the right opportunities.
AeroCampus will also return as a dedicated platform to inspire and nurture the next generation of aerospace talent. Bringing together educational institutions, training organisations and industry partners, AeroCampus will offer students and young professionals first-hand exposure to career pathways, emerging skillsets and innovations shaping the future of aviation.
