The Business Aviation Asia Forum & Expo (BAAFEx) will return for its second edition from March 22–24, 2027, signalling a new chapter of expansion for the Asia-Pacific business aviation sector. Organised by Experia Events, the upcoming edition is set to build on the strong momentum of its successful debut and reflect the region’s accelerating growth, rising wealth and increasing cross-border business activity.
The 2027 edition is expected to attract more than 3,000 industry professionals and trade visitors, with over 75 participating companies across exhibitions, sponsorships and the conference programme. The event will also feature a curated conference addressing critical topics shaping the sector, including sustainability, airport infrastructure and evolving regulatory frameworks. A static aircraft display is planned, with additional details to be announced.
Leck Chet Lam, Managing Director, Experia Events, says, “BAAFEx was launched to fill a clear gap in Asia Pacific’s business aviation landscape, and the response to the first edition exceeded expectations. With the region entering a new phase of growth, the 2027 edition will be larger in scale, reflecting the momentum of the market and the increasing importance of bringing the industry together.”
Industry data underscores the region’s strong trajectory. According to Asian Sky Group, the Asia-Pacific business jet fleet grew by 1.5% last year to reach 1,168 aircraft, up from 1,151 in 2024. India led regional expansion with the largest net addition of aircraft, while Vietnam recorded one of the fastest growth rates, highlighting the rising importance of emerging Southeast Asian markets. Southeast Asia remains the region’s second-largest business aviation market after Greater China.
Against this backdrop, Singapore continues to strengthen its role as the region’s premier business aviation hub. The city-state hosts more than 130 aerospace companies supported by a workforce of over 22,000 professionals. According to the Singapore Economic Development Board, the country’s aerospace output exceeded S$18 billion in 2024, growing 19% year on year and accounting for roughly 10% of global maintenance, repair and overhaul output and close to 20% of global engine MRO output.
BAAFEx builds on the strong foundation established by its inaugural 2025 edition, which welcomed more than 2,000 visitors and over 50 companies from across the global business aviation ecosystem. The event forms part of Singapore’s broader aviation landscape alongside major platforms such as the Singapore Airshow, further cementing the country’s position as a trusted convening point for the global aviation community.
With demand rising and the region entering a new phase of development, BAAFEx 2027 is poised to play a key role in shaping the future of business aviation in the Asia Pacific.
