“We aspire to provide our exhibitors and visitors with a better experience at each subsequent edition of the <a href="http://www.ainonline.com/airshow-convention-news/singapore-2012">Singapore Airshow</a>,” says Jimmy Lau, managing director of show organizer Experia Events. “We also continue to demonstrate our relevance to the industry by anticipating market trends and introducing new features, enabling our exhibitors and visitors to tap emerging markets and be updated on the latest products and technologies.”


For the fourth edition of the Singapore Airshow, to be held at the Changi exhibition center next year (February 11 to 16), the organizers have introduced a new, Aviation Training and Simulation Zone. It is being implemented as a platform to bring together a range of exhibitors involved in areas of training, simulation and recruitment. Significant growth in air travel brings with it a growing requirement for aircrew and technicians, while new safety and training regulations have resulted in existing schools not only seeking to acquire new simulation systems, but also to upgrade existing equipment.


Boeing’s Pilot and Technician Outlook report for 2012 estimates that 185,600 new pilots will be needed over the next two decades to support the forecast level of traffic growth in the Asia Pacific region. This represents around 40 percent of expected global demand, and twice that expected for Europe and North America. Increasing emphasis is being placed on digital technology not only to significantly increase training capacity but also to meet the learning needs of a new generation of aircrew.
