Once the airshow went public, it transformed into a family carnival. I must say, this event is great for both the children and the adults.

Singapore Airshow 2010 has officially ended for trade visitors, generating US$10 billion (approx S$14 billion) in deals. Not a bad result given the tough times and recent Dubai airshow before Singapore’s.

There was no aircraft orders or announcements and most of the deals in the commercial aviation arena were for engines and other parts, plus service and maintenance contracts.

SimpliFlying is not only an award winning aviation blog but also appears frequently on mainstream media. This time, Shashank Nigam, was featured on both CNBC and CNA during the Singapore Airshow 2010.

Aviation lovers must watch out for the debut of these 2 planes – American A-10 Thunderbolt II and the Swiss PC-21.
