Aviation Festival Asia

Terrapinn's APAC version of World Aviation Festival. Two days at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center bringing Asia-Pacific airlines, airports, ANSPs, and the aviation-technology ecosystem together — the regional focal point for airline digital, commercial, operations, AAM, and increasingly training-tech. The event relocated from Singapore (Marina Bay Sands) to Bangkok for 2027.

What to expect

Aviation Festival Asia is the regional sibling to the Lisbon flagship, calibrated to the APAC airline market — Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, AirAsia, VietJet, Garuda, Qantas, ANA, JAL, Thai Airways and the wider Asia-Pacific airline community attend in force. Programming spans the same six-or-seven track structure as the global flagship (retailing, customer experience, digital ops, AAM, sustainability, AI, loyalty) but with regional content adapted to APAC operating realities — AAM regulatory pathways in Singapore, Korea, and Japan; sustainable aviation in markets without mature SAF supply; and the labour-market specifics of pilot and crew training across the Asia-Pacific. For pilot training schools, the most directly relevant content sits in the AAM, operations-tech, and emerging-market training-pipeline threads. The Bangkok relocation positions the event closer to the Thailand / Vietnam / Indonesia / Philippines pilot-pipeline pressure points and gives a different regulatory-hub frame than Singapore.

Who attends

Asia-Pacific airline commercial, digital, and operations leadership, regional airports, ANSPs, regional regulators (CAAT, CAAS, JCAB, DGCA), OEMs (Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, ATR, COMAC), aviation-software vendors, AAM operators and developers (Joby's regional partnerships, Volocopter, EHang, and Korean AAM developers), sustainability and SAF firms, training-tech providers, and the broader APAC aviation-tech investor and consulting ecosystem.

Why flight schools attend

Direct fit applies to APAC-active flight schools — schools recruiting students from across Southeast Asia, schools partnering with APAC airlines on cadet programmes, or schools positioning for the regional AAM training pipeline. Bangkok's positioning relative to the Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Philippine pilot-pipeline markets makes it a useful annual touchpoint for those segments. Schools without APAC market exposure typically find more direct value at APATS or Singapore Airshow.

Frequently Asked Questions

APATS (Asia Pacific Airline Training Symposium) is narrowly training-focused — pilot, cabin, and maintenance training for APAC airlines and ATOs. Aviation Festival Asia is broader, covering airline commercial, digital, operations, AAM, and sustainability across the airline value chain. Training is one thread inside a much larger event. Most APAC airline training departments attend APATS; airline commercial/digital teams attend Aviation Festival.

Yes — Terrapinn relocated the event from Marina Bay Sands Singapore to Queen Sirikit National Convention Center Bangkok for the 2027 edition. The move positions the event closer to the Thai / Vietnamese / Indonesian / Philippine pilot-pipeline pressure points than the Singapore base did.
