The post-pandemic skies over aviation seemed to clear with this year’s Singapore Airshow, which saw a record trade attendance over four days, nearing 60,000 — a 10% increase from the previous high in 2018.

With the tagline of “where aviation’s finest meet”, this year’s show featured top names of the industry, Airbus and Rolls-Royce, and newcomers Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac) making the international debut of its narrow-body C919 with both static and flying displays, a step up from the aircraft’s flyby over Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong last December, which was then its first appearance outside the Chinese mainland.

The trade show at the Changi Exhibition Centre ran from Feb 20 to Feb 23, with public days on Feb 24 and 25.
