SINGAPORE — China's homegrown airliner may be the latest challenger to Airbus and Boeing's passenger jets, but an executive from Airbus said he's not worried.
SINGAPORE (AP) — The Singapore Airshow – Asia’s largest – kicked off Tuesday with an array of aerial displays including some by China’s COMAC C919 narrow-body airliner.
China’s home-grown narrowbody passenger jet, the C919, took to the Singapore skies on Sunday to prepare for its first-ever international display – a move that may help its developer promote the aircraft as a viable option for overseas buyers and aid Beijing in its crusade to become a global player in aviation.
SINGAPORE — Boeing will not be bringing any commercial planes to the Singapore Airshow, shifting the spotlight for passenger jets to rival Airbus as well as China's homegrown offering.
Flights departing from Singapore will cost more from 2026 as the country pushes ahead with its aviation industry decarbonization goals.
The levy will vary depending on factors such as the length of the flight and whether the passenger is flying in economy or in premium class, Singapore’s government said on Monday at an aviation summit in the city state.
SINGAPORE — China is gearing up to showcase its narrow-body passenger jet to a global audience for the first time at the Singapore Airshow.
India’s GMR Group had proposed a contract to give the government 33.3 per cent of its revenues. Despite the lower figure, it was seen as a front-runner for its ability to maintain the long-term business viability of operating the airport.
