The flying display at the Singapore Airshow requires a closure of Changi Airport to all commercial aircraft traffic. Therefore the Singapore Airshow flying display is not as extensive as other comparable airshows around the world. In previous years the aircraft in show’s flying display operated from the military runway at Changi Airbase East. However in 2018, the redevelopment of the Changi Airbase East area for the new Changi Airport Terminal 5 complex and third runway resulted in the display aircraft operating from the civilian side of Changi Airport.
