The biennial Singapore Airshow 2022 kicked off today at the Changi Exhibition Centre with a strong optimism for industry recovery and a focus on sustainability.
Happening until February 18, this eighth edition welcomes more than 13,000 trade attendees and almost 600 participating companies – such as Airbus, Rolls-Royce, and Lockheed Martin – from more than 39 countries/regions; representing more than 70 per cent of the top 20 global aerospace companies.
“We are heartened by the support and participation of the most influential aerospace and defence companies worldwide. Their presence displays the industry’s resilience and confidence for blue skies ahead,” said Leck Chet Lam, managing director, Experia, organiser of Singapore Airshow 2022.
“The stage is set for strategic conversations, exchange of ideas and significant partnerships that will catalyse the recovery of the industry in Asia.
In line with the global agenda on climate change, Alton Aviation Consultancy will be presenting the inaugural Sustainable Aviation Forum on February 16 and 17. Experts from both the public and private sectors will discuss challenges and opportunities within sustainable aviation, including the topic of sustainability of future technology in areas of air mobility and aviation operations. Focus areas include the roles of regulators, innovations in engine technology, sustainable aviation fuel, and maintenance, repair and overhaul.
The recovery of the aviation industry will also be addressed this year. Top executives from Avolon, BOC Aviation, CFM International, Malaysia Airlines and Rex Airlines, will discuss and debate the pace of market recovery, business resilience and sustainable aviation solutions at the Aviation CEO Forum. Organised in association with FlightGlobal, this platform provides leaders with the opportunity to exchange views on the optimism in Asia Pacific’s projected growth and how industry players can come together to build a better future.
All attendees have to be pre-registered, fully-vaccinated with the World Health Organisation Emergency Use Listing (WHO EUL) vaccines and adhere to the prevailing safe management measures. These include mandatory mask-wearing, safe distancing protocols, designated F&B zones, and regular disinfection of event spaces.
