What is the cost of a Cokin holder and one piece of ND filter (shooting blue sky)?
Do I need some kind of graduated filter when shooting airplanes at noon? I think the
top half and bottom half will have large difference in lightening.

Sorry but I don't know the prices but I don't think you need a GND to shoot airplanes assuming you are pointing at the sky, ie, filling the whole frame with the airplane as foreground and the sky as a background. On the contrary, you may need an ND filter.
Unless, you meant during takeoffs and landings where your background would include part sky, part others.
Usually, in our climate, a 3-stop ND or GND is ideal.

Well, in the case of landed airplanes like 747, 380, etc. How do I make sure the upper portion
and lower portion are equally exposed? I will be going to the show at Changi in late morning,
expecting quite bright & vertical sunshines.

OK. I can concur now that you it's the GND that you need.
As in any GND, you meter the brightest portion of the subject; in this case, the sky. And you do the same for the foreground; the airplanes, I suppose. If the difference is huge and is greater than what your DSLR can handle, you need to balance it with the appropriate GND.
You can do a search for Singh-Ray or Lee Filters on Google and read on further.
