The Singapore Airshow 2020 will start on Tuesday, February 11, but the scenario will be bleak. The biggest aerospace event in Asia suffers from the coronavirus epidemic in China, which caused a good part of the participants to give up attending this year’s edition.
Companies like Textron, Bombardier, General Dynamics, Raytheon, Gulfstream and de Havilland of Canada pulled out of the event while Lockheed Martin reportedly stepped back and confirmed its presence. Boeing, Airbus and Embraer, in turn, maintained their original plans.
Experia Events, responsible for the Singapore Airshow, however, confirmed that 10 Chinese companies, including COMAC, which develops the C919 commercial jet, will not come to the country due to the epidemic.
