The event is hosted over a period of five days in the following format:

A 3-day trade exhibition: The trade exhibition showcases air, sea and land defence technologies, including a static aircraft display. It is open to media and trade visitors only.

A 2-day air show: The air show is a live demonstration of global aircraft and is open to media, trade and general public visitors.
