Singapore Airshow Provides Platform To Find Solutions For Aviation Recovery, Sustainability

SINGAPORE, Feb 19 (NNN-CNA) – The Singapore Airshow wrapped up here yesterday, with participants focusing on recovery and sustained development of the aviation industry.

More than 13,000 trade visitors and some 600 companies from 39 countries and regions attended the biennial aerospace and defence exhibition, at the Changi Exhibition Centre.

Airbus’ A350-1000 and Boeing’s wide-bodied B777-9 made their debut in Asia at the airshow.

Key participating exhibitors this year included Airbus, the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Singapore’s ST Engineering.

In line with the global agenda on climate change, this edition of the Singapore Airshow presented the inaugural Sustainable Aviation Forum on Feb 16 and 17.

Experts from the public and private sectors discussed challenges and opportunities within sustainable aviation, including the roles of regulators, innovations in engine technology, sustainable aviation fuel, and maintenance, repair and overhaul.

In another development, executives from some airlines talked about the pace of market recovery, business resilience and sustainable aviation solutions at the Aviation CEO Forum.

Leck Chet Lam, managing director of the organiser, Experia Events, at a media conference on Feb 13 said, “Right now, when we’re starting to see green shoots in the industry … We can see and sense the optimism, so I think it’s even more important that we set the platform to allow all these decision-makers and industry players to have discussions and navigate our way out of this pandemic.”– NNN-CNA
