The Business Aviation Asia Forum and Expo (BAAFEx), organised by Experia Events, will be held for the first time at Singapore’s Changi Exhibition Centre from March 4-6, 2025.
The programme will comprise an exhibition, aircraft displays, networking opportunities, and a conference with expert panels and keynote speakers.
Major players in the aviation sector, including Boeing Business Jets, Lufthansa Technik, VistaJet, and Amber Aviation, have confirmed participation.
Other confirmed participants include aircraft management and maintenance company, Gama Aviation; aircraft regulatory body, Bermuda Aircraft Registry; satellite services provider, Viasat; and integrated travel risk management company MedAire.
Ian Moore, chief commercial officer at Vista, stated in a press release: “We have been waiting for half a decade to finally have a dedicated business aviation show back in Asia. Asia Pacific is one of the fastest growing regions at Vista, and South-east Asia is playing a key role in Vista’s expansion in the region…”
VistaJet’s parent company, Vista, reported a 20 per cent year-on-year increase in total flights for 3Q2024. Southeast Asia, in particular, has been a hotspot for this growth, with its business jet fleet expanding by roughly five per cent annually in recent years.
Overall, the business aviation market in Asia Pacific is experiencing significant growth, driven by rising travel demand and regional investment. By the end of 2023, there were around 1,200 business jets based in the region, making it the world’s third-largest market after North America and Europe.
