Organizers of next year’s Singapore Airshow are here in Paris (Chalet D226) pressing for a sell out for the Feb. 2-7, 2010 event. So far, 90 percent of its exhibit space has been sold. They anticipate more than 700 exhibitors will attend, including 60 of the world’s top 100 aerospace firms.

Managing director Jimmy Lau told AIN that a few companies did cancel their participation in the wake of the serious economic downturn now gripping the industry. But he added that these gaps have since been filled.
