SINGAPORE: A sharp fall in trade visitors is expected at the Singapore Airshow this week compared with the last edition two years ago as Covid-19 continues to hit the industry, according to the organiser of Asia’s biggest aerospace industry gathering.

More than 13,000 trade visitors are expected at the biennial show from tomorrow to Friday, Experia Events managing director Leck Chet Lam told reporters, down from nearly 30,000 in 2020 and around 54,000 in 2018. There will be no public days this time.
