Singapore Airshow is Asia’s biggest aerospace event and takes place every two years at the Changi Exhibition Centre, right beside Changi Airport on the eastern tip of the island. The 2028 show opens with trade days for the airlines, manufacturers, defence forces and suppliers who come from all over the world to do business, and big airliner orders are often announced here. The final days are opened up to the public, with flying displays from military jets and aerobatic teams, plus a large static park of aircraft you can walk around. It’s a well-organised show with good public transport links, and February weather is usually warm with the odd tropical downpour, so bring sun cream and something waterproof. Ticket sales and the exact split of trade and public days will be published on the official site.

Dates: Tuesday 15 to Sunday 20 February 2028, Changi Exhibition Centre. Check the official site for which days are open to the public.
