Singapore Airshow 2022 to Spotlight Sustainability and Catalyse Recovery for Aviation Industry

Singapore Airshow 2022 kicks off with strong optimism for industry recovery and a focus on sustainability. The biennial event will see aviation’s finest gather from all around the world at the Changi Exhibition Centre from 15 to 18 February. This eighth edition will see more than 13,000 trade attendees and almost 600 participating companies from more than 39 countries/regions; representing more than 70% of the top 20 global aerospace companies.

In line with the global agenda on climate change, Singapore Airshow 2022 has partnered with Alton Aviation Consultancy to present the inaugural “Sustainable Aviation Forum” on 16 and 17 February. Experts from public and private sectors will discuss challenges and opportunities within sustainable aviation, including the topic of sustainability of future technology in areas of air mobility and aviation operations. Focus areas include the roles of regulators, innovations in engine technology, sustainable aviation fuel, and maintenance, repair and overhaul. The recovery of the aviation industry is another topic that takes centre stage at this year’s Airshow.

Top executives from Avolon, BOC Aviation, CFM International, Malaysia Airlines and Rex Airlines, will discuss and debate the pace of market recovery, business resilience and sustainable aviation solutions at the “Aviation CEO Forum”. Organised in association with FlightGlobal, this platform presents thought leaders the opportunity to exchange views on the optimism in Asia Pacific’s projected growth and how industry players can link arms to build a better future.

“The aviation industry has proven its resilience by overcoming numerous obstacles over the years. The presence of major exhibitors, partners and trade attendees is evidence of the collective optimism for recovery,” said Mr Leck Chet Lam, Managing Director of Experia, organiser of Singapore Airshow 2022. “We are proud to be rolling out the red carpet for critical conversations, strategic partnerships and new ideas that will catalyse the transformation and rebound of the aerospace and defence sector.” Singapore Airshow has also adopted sustainability efforts by going largely paperless – which is atypical of airshows. The traditionally printed show directory has evolved into an electronic format, and online platforms such as a digital media centre have been created to minimise printing. The event is also powered by solar energy generated from 15,000 panels installed on the roof of the Changi Exhibition Centre. Mr Leck added, “We are playing our part in advocating for more eco-friendly events, and taking intentional steps to reduce our carbon footprint.”

AVIATION CEO FORUM:

Breath-taking aerial displays

Singapore Airshow 2022 would not be complete without the aerial display participants performing their dramatic stunts and manoeuvres. Attendees will be treated to flying displays and flypasts from four air forces and two commercial companies. Members of the public can also catch the action from the comfort and safety of their homes via the livestream that can be accessed via www.go.gov.sg/sa22live or Singapore Airshow’s Official Facebook page.

Appearing in Singapore Airshow for the first time is the Indian Air Force’s Light Combat Aircraft – Tejas. Returning to perform since the 2018 edition is Indonesia’s Jupiter Aerobatic Team, which will thrill audiences with a six-plane repertoire. The line-up of flying displays also includes the Republic of Singapore Air Force’s F-16C and AH-64D Apache attack helicopters, as well as the F-35B Joint Strike Fighter and B-52 Stratofortress from the United States Marine Corps and United States Air Force respectively. Airbus’ A350-1000 and Boeing’s wide-bodied B777-9 are also slated to conduct flypasts.
