TICKETS for the all-new Singapore Airshow which flies into town next month are on sale at more than 60 SingPost outlets and about 250 automated kiosks islandwide.

Priced at $20 for adults and $8 for children under 12, they are also available online at www.singaporeairshow.com.sg and include a round-trip shuttle bus ride between Pasir Ris bus interchange and the new exhibition site built on reclaimed land near Changi Airport.

For the first time, the organiser is also offering a package deal - $100 for four tickets and a carpark pass. There are about 2,000 carpark spaces at the exhibition site.

Air show visitors will get 10 per cent off the normal rate of $29.50 for the Singapore Flyer ride during the air show week from Feb 19 to 24.

Only for trade visitors till Feb 22, the Singapore Airshow will be open to the public on the last two days.

Ttickets for the last Asian Aerospace, held here in 2006,cost $21 for adults and $7 for children, excluding booking fees.

The coming show is the first organised by a joint venture between the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore and the Defence Science and Technology Agency.

The previous shows were organised by London-based Reed Exhibitions under the Asian Aerospace brand name.

Mr Jimmy Lau, the new show's managing director told The Straits Times that visitors can look forward to many attractions including aerobatics that were sorely missed at the last air show.

There are several aerial displays planned, including one by the Republic of Singapore Air Force's Black Knights and the Royal Australian Air Force's Roulettes.

Apart from the flying acts, visitors will be able to get up close and personal with more than 30 civil and military jets on static display.

These include the Airbus 380 double-decker jet which Singapore Airlines became the first to operate commercially in October and several unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

More than 50,000 public visitors are expected.
