CHICAGO, Jan. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing [NYSE:
BA] will showcase a wide range of products and services at this
year's Singapore Airshow, Asia's
largest aerospace and defense show, which runs Feb. 6-11. The scale of the company's presence at
this year's show reflects the strong growth prospects and
opportunities across its commercial, defense and services
businesses in Asia-Pacific.
"Singapore is a global aviation
hub and the headquarters for our Southeast Asia operations, where we have
enjoyed 70 years of presence and partnership," said Skip Boyce, president, Boeing Southeast Asia.
"As our product line-up and customer requirements continue to
evolve, we are confident and committed to delivering enhanced
capabilities to our customers while growing our regional
presence."
The Asia-Pacific region is
Boeing Commercial Airplanes' fastest growing market with a strong
demand for both single and twin-aisle airplanes. In addition to
models of the 737 MAX and 787 airplanes that have been delivered to
numerous customers in the region, the Boeing exhibit will also
showcase a model of the new 777X now in development and build.
Boeing Defense, Space & Security will have a robust line-up
of Boeing and customer products on static display at the show. The
Republic of Singapore Air Force will display the F-15SG multi-role
fighter, and the CH-47 Chinook and AH-64 Apache helicopters. The
U.S. Department of Defense will exhibit the P-8A Poseidon and the
F/A-18 Super Hornet, alongside the Integrator unmanned aircraft
system from Insitu. The Boeing exhibit will also include the Insitu
ScanEagle, and the Wave Glider, an ocean surface robot with
seabed-to-space autonomous capabilities from Liquid
Robotics.
For the first time at the Singapore Airshow, there will be a
Boeing Global Services (BGS) exhibit booth. Launched in 2017,
Boeing Global Services is the company's newest business unit and is
poised for growth through innovative services and support for
regional commercial and defense systems throughout the entire
lifecycle. Asia-Pacific is an
important growth market for the services business with a strong
emphasis on engineering, modifications, upgrades, maintenance,
Boeing AnalytX, digital services and training. The Boeing Training
and Professional Services campus in Changi, Singapore is Boeing's largest pilot,
technician and crew training facility in Asia.
