Boeing capabilities on display at Asian Aerospace 2004

Boeing will field a broad and significant presence with people, products and services at the Asian Aerospace 2004 show in Singapore, being held between 24-29 February 2004.

The Boeing exhibit, located in Hall A, will display products and services from the Boeing Commercial Airplanes and Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) business units, including an F-15 flight simulator and a portable version of the Boeing Integration Center. The Boeing Integration Center is a high-tech simulation and visualization theater where people can step into an operational environment and experience a network-enabled battlespace.

Boeing products scheduled to perform in the daily aerial flying program include the F-15E Strike Eagle and the AH-64D Apache Longbow. Additionally, Boeing will have two F-15Es on static display. Under agreement with ShareJet, a premier business aviation company, based in Guam, Boeing will also have a Boeing Business Jet on static display.

During the show, Boeing Commercial Airplanes will spotlight its new longer range 777s, including the 777-300ER; the 7E7 Dreamliner, which is now being offered to the worlds' airlines; and, the 747-400 family, including the recently launched 747-400 Special Freighter modification program.

Boeing will also be represented by its Air Traffic Management (ATM) organization. This business unit was formed in November 2000, a move which concentrated the company's efforts to develop an air traffic management system to handle the multiplying long-term demand for air travel.

Boeing ATM is working with stakeholders around the world to achieve a vastly improved air traffic system using major technology advances in communication, navigation and surveillance. These will lead to substantial system capacity increases as well as safer, more secure and efficient air transportation with reduced noise and emissions contributing to economic benefits.

Connexion by Boeing, the exciting and growing business unit, is preparing for full-scale launch of its high-speed connectivity service to airlines and passengers in early 2004, and will provide an update on its plans during the show.

In addition to expanding its core service availability beyond the executive transport and private aircraft market, including commercial aircraft, Connexion by Boeing has also announced its intent to enter the maritime market.
