BAAFEx 2027 to Be 50% Larger, With Vista Global 8000 on Static Display and Expanded Forum
Why It MattersA larger Singapore show with dedicated China and Southeast Asia sessions signals growing OEM and charter-operator commitment to the Asia Pacific business aviation market.
Business Aviation Asia Forum & Expo 2027 (BAAFEx 2027) will be held from 22 to 24 March 2027 at the Changi Exhibition Centre in Singapore. Organisers expect it to be 50% bigger than the inaugural 2025 edition, drawing more than 3,000 industry professionals and trade visitors, with more than 75 companies taking part across the exhibition, sponsorship and three-day forum programme.
More than 20 exhibitors are confirmed, spanning aircraft, charter and aircraft management, aviation fuel, trip support, connectivity, MRO and technical solutions, airports and regulatory services. Vista has confirmed a Global 8000 for static display, and Dassault Aviation, returning to BAAFEx, plans to show an aircraft as well. The Asian Business Aviation Association (AsBAA) returns as a supporting association, and Vista Global, Sino Jet and Aviaarc Trip Support are among the latest exhibitors to join.
Carlos Brana, executive vice president, civil aircraft at Dassault Aviation, said Asia Pacific remains an important market for the company. Ian Moore, chief commercial officer at Vista, cited Singapore's 58% flight traffic growth in the first half of 2026 compared with 2025 and said Vista's global fleet connects clients across 96% of the world.
The expanded forum covers growth drivers for Asia Pacific business aviation; markets in Southeast Asia, Australia, China and India; airport infrastructure and slot availability; urban air mobility; MRO development and recruitment of maintenance engineers and technicians; digital charter platforms; passenger expectations for the onboard experience; inflight connectivity and cabin interiors; and sustainable aviation fuel, carbon offsetting and other emissions-reduction initiatives.
