History In January 1998, Sembawang Construction and Sato Kogyo were awarded a $12-million contract to construct the CIECC. The CIECC finished construction in ten months and was completed in December. Conference facilities, offices and a dining room were also built to accommodate the hosting of the Asian Aerospace Exhibition.
On 13 February 2006, Reed Exhibitions announced that it would hold its final Asian Aerospace airshow at the CIECC in Singapore. The airshow moved out of Singapore as Reed Exhibitions could not commit to keep the airshow in Singapore after the Government of Singapore intend to move the airshow to a new 24-hectare permanent exhibition site in Changi. The Straits Times reported that the Singapore government intended to expand Changi Airport's air cargo park onto the land used by the CIECC since 1998.
CIECC was torn down in late 2006.
