The six-day event has attracted Airbus, Bell Helicopter, Rolls-Royce, Parker Aerospace and other exhibitors from countries and regions including Australia, Germany, Russia, France, the United States and Saudi Arabia.

The biennial expo held a "cloud signing ceremony" Thursday afternoon.

Li Yihui, deputy general manager of Zhuhai Airshow Co., Ltd., the organizer, said the indoor exhibition area of this year's Airshow China will exceed 90,000 square meters, with many exhibitors expanding their booth areas.

Audience members are expected to feast their eyes on aerobatic flights conducted by the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force and the Russian Aerospace Forces.

Deals worth more than 21.2 billion U.S. dollars were signed at the 12th Airshow China in 2018.
