Asian Aerospace closed its doors to trade visitors
last Friday with record deals in excess of US$15 billion recorded. The
amount is four and a half times the amount recorded during the last event in 2004, and the biggest order book in the show’s 25 year history.
The cumulative order book, mainly in the commercial sector, included an array of around 40 aerospace deals; ranging from major fixed and rotary wing aircraft and
engine purchases, sales of aircraft simulators, and avionics packages to Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO), aerospace supply chain management, and
consultancy contracts, among others.
Mr Ed Ng, President of Asian Aerospace 2006,
said, “We are delighted at the levels of business announced at Asian Aerospace and the total of
$15.2 billion is way beyond our optimistic expectations.”
The figures were also impressive on the exhibitor and visitor count, with 940 exhibitors from 43 countries, and 153 delegations from 44 countries. The event also
saw over 34,300 trade participants from 89 countries, including first time major participation by visitors from China.
Mr Ng
added, “Asian Aerospace 2006 is truly a world class event. We are very happy with the results. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Singapore
government, all exhibitors, visitors, and customers, along with the Asian Aerospace team, for their tremendous support in making this event an historic success.”
