A two-decade fly-by

The regional aviation industry had an eventful two decades, as budget airlines upended the very concept of flying. With SIA at the core, The Edge Singapore looks at how the industry has adapted over the years

Singapore’s aviation industry has come a long way since The Edge Singapore began publication in March 2002. Over the years, it has grown into an aviation hub and a key layover destination to many cities in Asia Pacific. This growth has only been achieved through the collective efforts of the aviation ecosystem.

Notably, national flag carrier Singapore Airlines (SIA) has on numerous times been voted as among the best airlines in the world. Changi Airport is one of the busiest airfields in the world, facilitating one of the highest air passenger traffic and cargo volumes. Its shopping mall — the $1.7 billion, 10-storey complex known as Jewel — has made Changi Airport a must-see tourist destination, if only for its 40m indoor waterfall.
