Next week's Singapore Airshow has a few anticipated highlights: Embraer's transport C-390 will be on static display. Following a successful year of orders in 2023, including South Korea, the OEM is positioning the medium airlifter as well suited to the APAC region. COMAC is sending a large contingent of two C919 narrow-body and three ARJ21 regional jets, with the C919 to fly its first international display. The Chinese C919, anA320-sized airliner, is aiming for a fifth of the global narrowbody market and a third of the Chinese market by 2035. This year's biennial airshow has the added backdrop of the maturing AUKUS alliance, contrasted against the first expected appearance of a Chinese military aircraft, the Changhe Z-10 attack helicopter, at an international air show. Boeing are somewhat conspicuous in their absence, with no aircraft flying or on static display. Airbus will be flying their A350-1000, with an A330neo and A400M on static. Business aviation will see a heavy presence in the mid-size range, with Dassault Aviation's 6X making its Singaporean debut after achieving certification last year, and BOMBARDIER, Embraer, Gulfstream Aerospace, HondaJet, Pilatus Aircraft Ltd, and Textron Aviation bringing a slew of jets. Parallel to the airshow is the Singapore Aerospace Technology and Engineering Conference (SATEC) 2024, a joint forum between the Republic of Singapore Air Force and the Singapore Institute of Aerospace Engineers (SIAE) with a focus on key developments and advancements in aerospace technology and engineering. See you in the Lion City. #aviation #aerospace #airpower #singaporeairshow

The current commercial aviation landscape has been impacted by several noteworthy events over the last 5 years. Firstly, the grounding of the Boeing 737 Max in 2019 after two fatal crashes saw a significant impact on the Boeing supply chain as production slowed. This was further intensified at the beginning of 2024, when an Alaksa Airlines flight from Portland Oregon operating an eight-week-old Boeing 737 Max 9 experienced a door plug blow out shortly after take-off.
