 Following two editions of trimmed scope
and scale caused by complications related to the global COVID19
pandemic, the Singapore Airshow will return to full force next
year when the aerospace and defence exhibition takes place at
Changi Exhibition Centre from 20-25 February.

Trade attendees of the ninth edition of the
biennial event can expect more than 1,000
participating companies from more than 50 countries/regions.

In
addition to returning exhibitors such as Airbus, AVIC, Boeing,
Bombardier, COMAC, Dassault Aviation, GE Aerospace, Honeywell,
L3Harris, Leonardo, Lockheed Martin, RTX, Rolls-Royce, Safran, ST
Engineering, Textron Aviation and Thales, delegates can also look
out for first-time country pavilions from China, Czech Republic,
Japan and Korea.

First-time participants, JetZero
and Panasonic Avionics, will use the event to showcase blended-wing aircraft
developments and in-flight passenger experience, respectively.

Together with McKinsey & Company, Singapore
Airshow will present the Sustainable Aviation Forum as part of its
AeroForum series where a panel of experts will discuss
critical topics such as the challenges and opportunities within
sustainable aviation, strategies
for decarbonising aviation and the pivotal role of
sustainable aviation fuel in reducing the aviation’s carbon
footprint.

Beyond sustainability, AeroForum will present
three other key sessions, namely: Aviation CEO, Advanced Air
Mobility, and China-Singapore Bilateral Aviation.

What’s Next@Singapore Airshow,
the event’s strategic collaboration with Starburst, a premier aerospace and defence start-up accelerator and
strategic advisory practice, will see 30 start-ups from 12
countries, including India, Japan, Singapore, United Kingdom and United States, showcase their cutting-edge technologies
in sustainability, dual use technologies, air traffic management
and digitalisation in aerospace and defence industries to a global
network of potential investors, accelerators, and corporate
partners.

The innovators will receive expert guidance
on partnerships, funding, joint development and commercialisation opportunities as part of their accelerated
journey to establishing a business presence in Singapore and
showcasing their products and solutions that will help
to reshape the aerospace landscape.

The ‘Changi Aviation Summit 2024: The Future of
Aviation: Navigating a Post-Pandemic World’ will bring together senior
government officials and industry leaders to exchange views on key
issues faced by the aviation industry.

Organised by the Ministry
of Transport (MOT) and Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore
(CAAS), this year’s summit will explore the future of aviation in
a post-pandemic world, as air travel recovers to pre-pandemic
levels, and the sector pivots from recovery to growth.

The summit
aims to bring the global aviation community together to identify
risks and opportunities, discuss potential areas of innovation and
technology that will transform the sector and establish new areas
of cooperation between governments and industry.

The summit will start with a welcome dinner on 18
February 2024, and an official opening ceremony on 19 February
2024. This will be followed by an aviation roundtable featuring
Ministers of Transport and aviation leaders. There will also be a
series of focused discussion panels on technology and
sustainability, which will bring together experts from across the
sector, including airlines, airport, manufacturers, and regulators

“As we prepare to bring together the
global aerospace and defence community at Singapore Airshow 2024
once again, we are excited to provide a platform where innovation,
collaboration, and resilience converge. The challenges faced by
the industry have only strengthened our determination to drive
positive change,” said Leck Chet Lam, Managing Director of
Experia, organiser of Singapore Airshow 2024. “With the
participation of esteemed exhibitors, partners, and industry
leaders, we are confident that Singapore Airshow 2024 will
catalyse critical discussions, foster strategic alliances, and
inspire ideas that will shape the future of aviation. Once again,
the aerospace and defence ecosystem will soar to new heights and
chart a path towards a stronger, more sustainable aerospace and
defence industry.”

Underlining its commitment to environmental
responsibility, the Singapore Airshow 2024 has partnered with
CarbonClick, a carbon offsetting platform to enable
attendees to offset the carbon emissions associated with their
travel via the purchase of carbon credits. CarbonClick supports climate projects such
as the Rimba Raya biodiversity reserve in Indonesia and a wind
power project in India.
