Asian boom gives lift to Singapore show
Last February’s Singapore Airshow defied the economic downturn to draw 62 of the world’s top 100 aerospace companies.

Last February’s Singapore Airshow defied the economic downturn to draw 62 of the world’s top 100 aerospace companies. The next event in 2012 has already sold 70 percent of its enlarged exhibit space and if you want to join those already booked you have until this Friday here at the Farnborough show (Chalet 31) to book space at special rates.

According to Singapore Airshow general manager Angelica Lim, two key factors account for the event’s appeal: the continued growth potential of the Asia Pacific aerospace and defense market and the prospect for access to some 259 government and trade delegations from 80 countries.
