The Singapore Airshow (Chalet D54) is consistently among the world’s top three airshows and has aspirations of taking over the top spot in 2012. According to Angelica Lim, the Singapore show’s general aerospace and defense group manger, the 2012 event expects 259 delegations from more than 80 countries, more than 900 exhibitors and in excess of 53,000 paid visitors.

The popular aviation leadership and Asia Pacific security conferences, she said, differ from those of other shows in that the key speakers are buyers rather than sellers. The 2012 edition is also expanding to accommodate the changing role of defense in the face of growing terrorism, piracy and other issues.
