More than 70 aviation firms pull out from Singapore Airshow

The airshow will push through amidst companies’ withdrawals.

More than 70 international aviation companies are withdrawing from Asia’s largest aerospace and defense conference in Singapore as concerns mount over the coronavirus outbreak, according to a report by Bloomberg.

American global aerospace defence Lockheed Martin Corp and US defence contractor Raytheon Co. are amongst the companies who confirmed cancellation.

The event’s organizer, Experia Events, said that despite the companies’ cancellations, the airshow, which starts on 11 February, will continue as planned. Experia events further shared that the companies that had pulled out represent less than 8% of participants.

More than ten Chinese exhibitors have previously affirmed their withdrawal.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
