Singapore show holds firm
“When the economy gets tough, people do come out and network, see for themselves and build alliances quickly as they can,” Singapore Airshow & Events (SAe)
“When the economy gets tough, people do come out and network, see for themselves and build alliances quickly as they can,” Singapore Airshow & Events (SAe) managing director Jimmy Lau said at the organizer’s opening press briefing Sunday. “And this has been the trend we’ve seen in most of the shows, especially in the Asia Pacific.”
Lau said Singapore is one of the top three aviation events in the world and the largest in Asia, and despite the downturn, continues to show resilience. “This year we have 800 companies from over 40 countries with us, and I’m also pleased to note that we have 62 of the world’s top 100 global aerospace companies with us,” he continued, “and this is up from the 59 we had at the inaugural show.”
