The 2017 edition of Asia’s flagship business aviation show was markedly subdued following an emphasis on “austerity” in China, but this year promises increased optimism. ABACE 2018, which will be held from April 17 to 19 at Shanghai’s Hongqiao International Airport, has so far notched more than 160 exhibitors with 30 or more aircraft expected to make up the static display. The show is “presented in partnership with Shanghai Airport Authority, and co-hosted by the National Business Aviation Association [NBAA] and the Asian Business Aviation Association [AsBAA],” according to the website.
