Singapore Airshow 2020 Returns On 15 Feb, With Insane Flight Displays & Superhero Cameos Source: https://mustsharenews.com/singapore-airshow-2020/ Singapore Airshow 2020 Back On 15 & 16 Feb For Public Entry Every 2 years, the much-loved Singapore Airshow 2020 takes to the skies to create unforgettable memories for our young aspiring pilots. This year’s public entry dates have been announced — aka Saturday (15 Feb) & Sunday (16 Feb). Definitely a memorable day out with the kiddos, if you can snag the coveted tickets, that is. Here’s all you need to know about what’s in store for guests, before you decide if it’s worth jio-ing the fam. Insane flight displays from Korea & Singapore teams Casual fans of the Singapore’s very own Black Knights will recall iconic roaring displays in the skies during National Day. The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) team will also be putting on a 15-min aerial display — breezing through 15 daring air manoeuvres to show off the agility of F-16C & F-15SG aircrafts. If previous shows are anything to go by, you can expect everything from coloured smoke whirls in the shape of hearts, daredevil somersaults & heart-stopping, plane tumbling aerial displays. Teams from Thailand & Indonesia are expected to join in the fun, taking part in shows that occur twice daily. Do make sure that you arrive at least 15 mins before each show begins to chope a good spot in the plaza. Here’s when the shows will occur on each public day: Saturday (15 Feb): 11.30am–12.10pm & 2.30–3.10 pm Sunday (16 Feb): 11.30am–12.10pm & 2.30–3.10 pm Climb inside a viking jet at the static display section The coordinated regional flight displays may be jaw-dropping but you’ll need to find other things to do to make your the price of admission worthwhile. Taking a leisurely stroll within the expansive static display section may just do the trick. Besides rows and rows of business jets lined up along the aisles for the affluent to purchase, there’ll also be interactive experiences in store for the public. This will be your once-in-a-lifetime chance to climb into the latest Boeing 737 aircrafts or explore the inside of military jets. We hear that Canada’s famed viking jet will be making an appearance so do look out for that too. Meet superheroes, mascots & pilots IRL While touring the premises, you may notice some oddly dressed men & women in skin-tight suits making their rounds as well. That’s because the airshow invite has been extended to popular Marvel Avengers like Captain America, Hawkeye & Spider-Man. Besides superheroes, you’ll get your chance to meet heroes closer to home too. Pilots behind the insane displays will patiently await their fans at the Exhibitors Club, to strike up conversations or dish out autographs. A pair of mascots named Captain Leo & Leonette will be lying in wait for photo ops throughout the show. We expect that only the kiddos will be interested, so give this a miss if you’re not young at heart. All Meet & Greet schedules & timings will be released closer to the date of the event on their website. Journey to the East may well be worth it Changi may be every Westie’s nightmare destination but we promise that for the crazy flight displays alone, a bi-annual pilgrimage to the airshow may well be worth it. The Singapore Airshow 2020 will be held at Changi Exhibition Centre, a short ride away from Changi Airport or the Singapore Expo. Changi Exhibition Centre Address: 9 Aviation Park Road, Singapore 498760 Public Dates: 15 & 16 Feb 2020 Nearest MRT: Expo MRT Station Public Transport: Free Airshow Shuttle at Singapore Expo, Hall 7 (Foyer). 2-way service is complimentary for all visitors with valid tickets. Here’s the detailed schedule for the bus timings, which run at regular 5-min intervals. Prepare for security screenings at the shuttle bus boarding point. All guests are “advised to travel light” to “expedite” the process. You aren’t advised to drive there unless you can afford a parking pass. As per the website, it costs a whopping $140/day to park on the premises. Note that only vehicles with a valid Singapore Airshow 2020 vehicle label will be allowed access into the exhibition site. Public ticketing info & prices So how much does a day at the Singapore Airshow cost for a public visitor? Inclusive of the flight displays, static displays & convention hall exhibition with tons of free merch & badges, we think it’s pretty affordable — sans the parking fee of course. Adult – S$27 Child (3-12 years) – S$14 Group Package (4 tickets & 1 carpark label) – S$192 *Admission is free for children below 3 years of age. Please note that re-admission is not allowed. All prices are inclusive of 7% GST & a complimentary return shuttle bus service to the Expo. You can head over to their Sistic website to book your tickets now. Fastest fingers first though, they do sell out pretty fast.

Managed to attend the Singapore Airshow this year as a trade visitor, and managed to make a few videos. Will share them in the next thread, in case anybody is interested.
