Aviation Festival Asia, Terrapinn’s conference and exhibition for airline and airport leaders, moves from Singapore to Bangkok for its 2027 edition, at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) on 16 and 17 March.

What has been announced for Aviation Festival Asia 2027?
The organiser lists 16 to 17 March 2027 at QSNCC, after many years in Singapore, where the 2026 edition was held at Suntec on 25 and 26 March. It gives Bangkok’s position beside one of the world’s fastest-growing aviation markets, with expanding low-cost carriers and fleets, as the reason for the move.
Who is it for?
The event is aimed at airline and airport executives, and the organiser expects more than 2,000 leaders and over 150 speakers. Its speaker list already includes the president of Airports of Thailand. Pass types and eligibility are set by the organiser, so check each delegate’s registration directly before travel.
Where should the group stay?
QSNCC is on Ratchadaphisek Road beside Benjakitti Park and has its own MRT Blue Line station. Hotels on lower Sukhumvit or in Silom keep the convention centre a short train ride away, which matters on two full conference days with evening networking. Our Bangkok destination guide compares those districts, and our guide to Bangkok’s two airports covers the transfer between Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang for delegates arriving on different carriers.
How can a Thailand DMC help?
Mid-March is a busy week in Bangkok: the IB Global Conference follows at QSNCC on 18 to 20 March, and ASEE 2027 runs at IMPACT on 17 to 19 March. A Thailand DMC should hold rooms near the MRT Blue Line early. We then add Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang transfers and evening dinners, and our MICE team and group travel desk can add sightseeing days before or after the event.
