Boeing will highlight its broad range of commercial and defense offerings during this year's Singapore Airshow, which begins Feb. 19. "The new-look Singapore Airshow is well positioned to bring the global aerospace community together in one place," said Boeing Senior Vice President of Communications Tom Downey.
"It provides Boeing an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to the Asia-Pacific market and to showcase the products and services that are important to our customers in the region. It also serves as an important forum to examine progress on industry-wide issues like the environment, which are important to our future."
Boeing's schedule begins at 1400 hours on Tuesday, Feb. 19, with a briefing about the company's defense business in the Asia-Pacific region. That will be followed at 1500 hours by a briefing about the Asia-Pacific commercial aviation market.
