Global aerospace and defence power isn’t tied to one part of the world anymore. It is slowly shifting east because economies are growing day by day, security needs are rising, and air travel is increasing. Asia isn’t just buying aircraft anymore. It’s starting to influence how the aerospace and defence industry thinks and plans.
In that context, the Singapore Airshow event is going to play a useful role. It will bring governments, defence forces, and companies together in one place, where needs turn into partnerships and conversations can turn into long-term plans. The event’s value is not just in what will be displayed, but in how it will support Asia’s growing role in global aerospace and defence.

The Singapore Airshow is Asia’s largest international aerospace and defence exhibition and will be held from 3 to 8 February 2026 at the Changi Exhibition Centre in Singapore. The first four days (3 to 6 February) are reserved for trade and industry visitors, while 7 to 8 February are open to the public.
During the trade days, visitors can expect more than 1,000 companies from over 50 countries and regions. Major aerospace and defence firms are going to attend the event, such as Airbus, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Rolls-Royce, and ST Engineering, as well as newer defence technology companies like Shield AI and Helsing.
Country pavilions are expected from Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States, with a larger presence from Italy and China.
Where Growth, Defence, and Sustainability Meet
Sustainability is a key focus of the Singapore Airshow event. The 2026 edition will highlight sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and net-zero goals. It will show practical ways the industry is reducing emissions.
Neste, a global renewable fuels company, will join as the Sustainable Aviation Partner. It will share views at AeroForum on using SAF, building supply chains, and running greener operations. Visitors can also offset travel emissions through the CarbonClick counter.

Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing aviation market in the world. Passenger travel, cargo, leasing, and services are all growing quickly. In the past, many Asian companies went to Europe or the US to make good deals. That is changing nowadays. The Singapore Airshow brings decision-makers together in Asia and helps deals move faster.
Defence spending in Asia is also increasing. Security challenges are becoming more complex. Governments now focus on long-term capability, partnerships, and technology sharing. The Singapore Airshow supports this by hosting senior government and military leaders with global defence companies. Singapore’s neutral position helps build trust.
Sustainability is now about staying competitive. As Asia takes a bigger role in sustainable aviation fuel, emissions policy, and aviation infrastructure, the Singapore Airshow brings regulators, airlines, fuel suppliers, and technology companies together. As a result, ideas can turn into action, and Asia’s role in global aviation becomes stronger.
Connecting Ideas for the Future of Aerospace
The Singapore Airshow is more than an aircraft show. It reflects how aerospace and defence now include space, cybersecurity, autonomy, and artificial intelligence. By bringing established companies and new technology firms together, the event shows how the industry is changing.
To support this exchange, the airshow runs trade days and forums such as AeroForum. These sessions focus on market outlooks, defence needs, sustainable aviation, and future technologies. They allow experts from civil and military sectors to share ideas.
At the same time, the event supports connections and future talent. AeroConnect helps companies find the right partners, while AeroCampus introduces students and young professionals to careers, skills, and opportunities in aerospace.
Family-Friendly Weekend at the Airshow
Captain Leo and Leonette will welcome visitors during Weekend@Airshow, the public weekend of the Singapore Airshow. They will appear across both days, greeting families and adding to the fun, relaxed atmosphere.

Conclusion
The Singapore Airshow shows how fast Asia’s aerospace and defence industry is growing these days. By bringing together people, ideas, and technology, it creates strong connections across the industry. As a result, it helps turn today’s momentum into long-term progress and real capability.
It also encourages cooperation, supports useful ideas, and creates new partnership opportunities. As Asia becomes more important in global aerospace and defence, the Singapore Airshow helps people clearly understand this change and be part of it.
