2024-02-20 431

Boeing will not display any commercial passenger jets at the Singapore Airshow, shifting focus to Airbus and China's Comac. Airbus will showcase its A350-1000 and A330neo models along with helicopters and military aircraft. Comac will fly its C919 narrow-body jet, the first international flight of China's commercial aircraft. Boeing is still exhibiting defense capabilities like fighter jets but no commercial planes after its 737 Max issues. The airshow will give Comac exposure as it aims to compete against Boeing and Airbus in the long run.
