As the bustling trade portion of the first fully post-pandemic Singapore Airshow wound down yesterday, exhibitors and delegates said they were optimistic for the aviation industry despite suppliers’ struggles to keep up with the rebound in travel demand.

Before the show, organisers predicted that about 50,000 people would attend the four trade days of the show, nearly four times as many than in 2022, when foreign visitors required daily rapid antigen tests for Covid-19, and nearly as many as the 54,000 who visited in 2018.
