saw this air show advertisement in australian aviation magazine.

i never been to singapore air show before, so just wondering how true is the "ASIA LARGEST AIRSHOW"

 

how many of you guys visited there before?

This is the inaugral

 

Previously, the Airshow in Singapore was "Asian Aerospace" - since moved to HK as of this year, and not to be left out of the circle, Singapore has begun this event - to outstage and outplay Asian Aerospace - believed to be the brainchild of the EDB?? Anyway... bugger... won't be in Singapore when it is on... bugger!

[Jessnor Arif 1]

Just trivial question.... How do you define largest airshow?

 

by exhibitor?

by visitor?

by airplane on show?

by fairground?

Anyone going ?

 

I am tempted to go !!!! I have to worry about accommodation, transportation, food , basically everything. I have an uncle staying at Singapore but I don't wish to bother him.

[Terence Ong 0]

I am, definitely, since I live in Singapore.

[Mohd Azizul Ramli 2]

Since Malaysia is too ignorant about their 16 years old LIMA, Singapore (as always) has taken advantage of it by staging this event. Of course it is going to be very successful.

i definately plan to go since i'll be at Senai Airport during that period...

but just wondering is't a good idea if i take MRT all the way to Changi?

You can take MRT to Expo station and from there, there are shuttle buses to bring you to the airshow.

have to think about accomodation and food samo..but i want to go...

 

If you wanna save on accommodation, go in a group of 3-4, rent a HDB room/unit on a daily/weekly basis. The rental are from about $150 a week depending on location and number of people sharing. Or stay in a backpackers place for about $20 a night.
