Experia Events which happens to be the organiser of the Singapore Sir Show 2020, is expecting more than 65 of the top 100 aerospace and defence companies to participate in the aerospace show, which is reportedly the largest in Asia. In total, over 1,000 companies from 50 countries, and about 55,000 trade attendees from 150 countries are expected to be in the Republic. Presumably, there will be a 5 percent increase in the participation coming from private companies in China especially, with an urge to push their products further wide into the international market. It includes the wide-body CRAIC CR929 aircraft, developed by Russia and China together to challenge the duopoly held by US-made Boeing and Europe's Airbus. Although, there exists a long line of geopolitical tension between US and China, in all probability it won’t affect the participation numbers at the event, in any aspect. Several new business-aviation aircraft will make their Asia-Pacific airshow debuts with static displays, including the Dassault Falcon 6X and the Embraer Praetor 500. In essence, the Singapore Airshow shall also provide a platform for more than 60 start-ups to showcase their products to industry leaders.Leck Chet Lam, Managing director for Experia Eventsmade a point saying that the Asia-Pacific region is expected to account for no less than 44 per cent of global growth in terms of air passengers over next two decades in question."The Singapore Airshow is where global leaders meet and forge strategic partnerships, and also where game-changing innovation can be showcased," said Mr Leck.Similar to all previous editions, the show will be opening its doors to one and all trade visitors starting from Feb 11-14, 2020.

Future Cultural Challenges for Airlines And Airports
Introduction Assuming we are all alike is one of the greatest mistakes we human beings are making all the time. Another mistake we constantly make is to assume that our way of doing things is the only right way. So when people do things differently e.g. how people queue up or what we ascribe status to we try to educate them to do or see it our way. This is usually not well received and a conflict starts.
