Zhuhai China Airshow 2026 December

[Michael]

I'm starting this thread ahead of schedule. Because some news has already emerged.

The photography industry has begun selling prime shooting locations.

can we expect some new stuff to show?

 

[Ali_Baba]

Maybe we see H-20 this year?

News of the first export order for the J-35AE?

Maybe find out who all the new customers for the J10CE are?

 

[Deino]

point 1 IMO never ever (or very unlikely)

points 2 - 3 IMO possible

 

[Deino]

Seems as if the show will be delayed until December?!!

Apparently the Zhuhai Airshow is now formally annonced for December 7-13:

Previously, some analysts pointed out that the Zhuhai Airshow would be postponed due to the APEC meeting to be held in Shenzhen this November.
Now, official institutions have officially confirmed this.

Btw, could you please change the thread title?

I've heard rumours the Jinfengtai viewing area will be closed to the public, unlike 2024 where you could buy tickets. Is there any more info on this?

Unfortunately no, but I heard via a friend, that "I was told a big participation of the Navy this year, but no J-35" with overall "Some new heavies from the Navy are expected" to be revealed?

Any idea what could this be? IMO A non-participation of the J-35 is unlikely since the J-35A attended already in 2024 and both the J-35 and J-35A as operational types in late 2025 during the parade! So at least for me there is no reason to "hide" it .. otherwise, what else could be rated a "heavy"? By weight surely the KJ-600?? ... or vessels?

Anyone with more?
