The first Business Aviation Asia Forum & Expo (BAAFEx) opened at Singapore Changi Exhibition Centre on Tuesday. The event is the long-awaited replacement for the Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition, which was staged in April 2019 for what turned out to be the last time in Shanghai.

“Asia is the third-largest market for business aviation,” said Leck Chet Lam, managing director of Experia Events, which launched BAAFEx and also runs the biennial Singapore Air Show. Plans call for holding the two shows on alternate years at the same site, so BAAFEx will return in 2027.
