The first major airshow of 2022, Singapore Airshow will open its door from February 15-18 this year. Asia’s largest and most influential aviation exhibition commences in-person participation again, but this year will be slightly different from previous years
The Singapore Airshow, Asia’s largest and most influential international aerospace and defence exhibition, is an aviation and military defence exhibition that is held every 2 years. This year, it will take place at Changi Exhibition Centre, Singapore, from February 15-18, 2022. The show first started out in 2008 as the Changi International Airshow and was later changed to its present name. This is the eighth edition of its programme. The airshow is the 3rd largest in the world, after Le Bourget and Farnborough airshows. Over the years, the airshow has seen big giants, such as Boeing, Airbus, Embraer and Bombardier get huge orders worth billions of dollars for their airplanes.
This year’s Singapore Airshow seems like it’s going to be big. Members of the public are not allowed to attend this year due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation. Minors under the age of 18 will not be permitted inside the venue.
This year also, the airshow is all set to shape the future of aviation industry. In the wake of the ongoing COVID-19 threat, Singapore Airshow 2022 will be organised on a by-invite basis. All attendees will be required to adhere to travel requirements and safe management measures stipulated by Singapore’s authorities. “The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has heavily battered the aerospace industry. As Singapore Airshow gears up to welcome visitors in February, we hope this exclusive extension will boost morale and encourage Singapore’s aerospace industry to maintain its resilience during the long runway to recovery ahead,” said Leck Chet Lam, Managing Director, Experia Events Pte Ltd, organiser of Singapore Airshow.
Two years ago, Singapore Airshow 2020 was held in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, and therefore many exhibitors opted out of the event. However, this year’s Singapore Airshow seems like it’s going to be big. Members of the public are not allowed to attend this year due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation and current circumstances. Those with trade invitations are allowed to bring guests, but minors under the age of 18 will not be permitted inside the venue.
