Trade attendees of the ninth edition of the biennial event can expect more than 1,000 participating companies from more than 50 countries/regions.

In addition to returning exhibitors such as Airbus, AVIC, Boeing, Bombardier, COMAC, Dassault Aviation, GE Aerospace, Honeywell, L3Harris, Leonardo, Lockheed Martin, RTX, Rolls-Royce, Safran, ST Engineering, Textron Aviation and Thales, delegates can also look out for first-time country pavilions from China, Czech Republic, Japan and Korea.

Together with McKinsey & Company, Singapore Airshow will present the Sustainable Aviation Forum as part of its AeroForum series where a panel of experts will discuss critical topics such as the challenges and opportunities within sustainable aviation, strategies for decarbonising aviation and the pivotal role of sustainable aviation fuel in reducing the aviation’s carbon footprint.

The 'Changi Aviation Summit 2024: The Future of Aviation: Navigating a Post-Pandemic World' will bring together senior government officials and industry leaders to exchange views on key issues faced by the aviation industry.

Organised by the Ministry of Transport (MOT) and Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), this year’s summit will explore the future of aviation in a post-pandemic world, as air travel recovers to pre-pandemic levels, and the sector pivots from recovery to growth.

The summit aims to bring the global aviation community together to identify risks and opportunities, discuss potential areas of innovation and technology that will transform the sector and establish new areas of cooperation between governments and industry.

The summit will start with a welcome dinner on 18 February 2024, and an official opening ceremony on 19 February 2024. This will be followed by an aviation roundtable featuring Ministers of Transport and aviation leaders. There will also be a series of focused discussion panels on technology and sustainability, which will bring together experts from across the sector, including airlines, airport, manufacturers, and regulators

"As we prepare to bring together the global aerospace and defence community at Singapore Airshow 2024 once again, we are excited to provide a platform where innovation, collaboration, and resilience converge. The challenges faced by the industry have only strengthened our determination to drive positive change," said Leck Chet Lam, Managing Director of Experia, organiser of Singapore Airshow 2024. "With the participation of esteemed exhibitors, partners, and industry leaders, we are confident that Singapore Airshow 2024 will catalyse critical discussions, foster strategic alliances, and inspire ideas that will shape the future of aviation. Once again, the aerospace and defence ecosystem will soar to new heights and chart a path towards a stronger, more sustainable aerospace and defence industry."

Underlining its commitment to environmental responsibility, the Singapore Airshow 2024 has partnered with CarbonClick, a carbon offsetting platform to enable attendees to offset the carbon emissions associated with their travel via the purchase of carbon credits. CarbonClick supports climate projects such as the Rimba Raya biodiversity reserve in Indonesia and a wind power project in India.
