Flying Display: Indian Air Force Sarangs

The IAF Sarang makes a return to the Singapore Airshow this year. First seen in Singapore back in 2024, the IAF Sarang is the Indian Air Force’s premier helicopter aerobatic team, performing breathtaking manoeuvres in four—sometimes five—vibrantly painted HAL Dhruv helicopters. Named “Sarang,” meaning peacock in Sanskrit, the team showcases precision, teamwork, and inspires through excellence, while also supporting humanitarian missions.

Flying Display: Royal Malaysian Air Force Sukhoi SU-30MKM

Another returning highlight is the RMAF SU-30MKM flying display, last seen at the Singapore Airshow in 2018. While the aircraft has appeared in the static display since, it’s the spectacular flying display that truly showcases the capabilities of the Russian-made SU-30MKM Flanker.

Static & Flying Display: Republic of Singapore Air Force Showcase

The RSAF showcase has always been a crowd favourite at the Airshow, especially during Public weekends, drawing long queues of visitors eager for a chance to sit in the cockpits of aircraft and helicopters on display. This year, the RSAF brings its F-15SG Eagle, F-16D Fighting Falcon, AH-64D Apache, CH-47F Chinook, Airbus H225M, Airbus A330MRTT, and more to the static display area—offering plenty of opportunities for that rare and unforgettable selfie. Up in the sky, the RSAF wows the crowd with an incredible integrated display, featuring an AH-64D and F-16C.

Exhibition Display: Heritage Wall & Aerolens

Located just outside the Media Centre in the Main Exhibition Hall, the Singapore Airshow has set up a Photo Heritage Wall showcasing images of key moments from the past 10 airshows. Created in collaboration with members of the Aerolens programme, the photo wall celebrates the coming together of aviation professionals and enthusiasts, united by their shared passion for flight.

Static Display: Embraer KC-390

The Embraer KC-390 "Millennium" returns to Singapore after its 2024 appearance. This modern Brazilian multi-mission military transport aircraft is celebrated for its versatility and cost-effectiveness compared to competitors.

Static & Flying Display: Comac C919

Returning to the Singapore Airshow are two Comac C919 narrow-body airliners, with one aircraft on static display and the other performing aerial demonstrations during the flying display segments. The C919 made its first international appearance at the Singapore Airshow in 2024, attracting significant interest from both media and industry visitors. As the aircraft begins commercial operations in a limited number of countries, the market potential for both Comac and the C919 remains evident—provided regulatory challenges can be successfully addressed.

Flying Display: Royal Australian Air Force Lockheed F-35A

The RAAF’s Lockheed F-35A makes its debut in this year’s Airshow flying display. Demonstrating the full capabilities of this fifth-generation stealth fighter, the RAAF display team performs tight, high-speed turns that wow crowds as the jet soars above the show ground.

Exhibition Display: Boeing 777-9 Cabin Mock Up

While Boeing did not bring the 777-9 demonstrator for either static or flying displays at this year’s airshow, the company showcased a full-scale mock-up of the 777-9 cabin, allowing attendees to experience what it will be like onboard the new wide-body aircraft. Featuring larger windows and a more spacious cabin than its predecessor, the 777-9 is poised to impress passengers when it enters service in the coming years.

With these and many more aircraft and exhibitors on display, the Singapore Airshow 2026 is set to draw even larger crowds than previous editions, underscoring Singapore’s key role in the global aviation industry while sparking greater public interest in aviation.
