The Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force will take part in the airshow for the first time. The PLAAF parachute team will put on a display. For the newly designated China's Aviation and Aerospace Day on November 5th, the PLAAF will jointly exhibit about 20 advanced Chinese-made planes with the China Aviation Industry Corporation.

As the opening ceremony draws near, many exhibitors have their booths ready for the show. Preparations are expected to complete before Monday. A medical drill has been carried out in case of emergencies and this year's medical service for the show is more internationalized.
