The 2024 edition of the Singapore Airshow features the largest number of flying teams in its history with eight aerial displays planned. The demonstrations include flypasts from six air forces and two commercial companies.
For the first time, the Indian Air Force’s Sarang helicopter air display team will perform its aerobatic maneuvers at the show in its HAL Dhruv helicopters. Other aerobatic teams on the slate for the show this week include the Royal Australian Air Force’s Roulettes (Pilatus PC-21s), Indonesian Air Force’s Jupiter (KAI KT-1s), and the Republic of Korea Air Force’s Black Eagles (KAI T-50s).
In addition, the U.S. Air Force’s B-52 Stratofortress bomber will make a flypast at the show on February 22, and the Republic of Singapore Air Force’s integrated aerial team will showcase the F-15SG fighter jet and the AH-64D Apache attack helicopter.
On the commercial side, Comac’s ARJ21 and C919 join the lineup, also for the first time, and Airbus is displaying its A350-1000.
“Flying performances are always a key highlight at Singapore Airshow,” said Leck Chet Lam, managing director of show organizer Experia. “As the public was either given limited or no access in the previous two editions due to safety measures during the pandemic, we anticipate strong interest in the upcoming flying performances.”
Flying displays will start at 12:30 p.m. on February 20, and 11:30 a.m. on February 21 and 22. Additionally, performances will be held during Weekend@Airshow, formerly known as Public Days, at 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on February 24 and 25.
