Singapore Airlines is giving away one commemorative metre by metre “First to Fly” model aircraft and several smaller scaled models at a lucky draw at the Asian Aerospace. The exclusive collector A380 aircraft model is in the colours of launch customer Singapore Airlines.

To qualify, participants simply need to answer one simple question about Singapore Airlines and the A380. The lucky draw coupons can be obtained at the main visitors’ registration counters. Asian Aerospace 2006 will be held at the Singapore Changi Exhibition Centre from 21 to 26 February.

The A380, the world’s largest passenger aircraft, will be on static display throughout the duration of the exhibition.
