SINGAPORE - The upcoming Singapore Airshow will still play an important role in connecting the aviation community, despite itIts value lies in providing a platform for participants to meet in person,

said Experia's managing director Leck Chet Lam on Wednesday at a virtual panel discussion on aviation recovery ahead of the air show, which will run from Feb 15 to 18.

The 2020 air show was held when the Covid-19 pandemic was beginning to sweep across the globe, and about 70 companies - 8 per cent of all exhibitors - withdrew on short notice then, owing to concerns over the coronavirus. Companies such as aircraft manufacturers Gulfstream and Bombardier have dropped out, amid concerns about the pandemic and Covid-19 restrictions.

Mr Leck said:"The number of people coming in, whether it is 60,000, 6,000, 600 or six, it doesn't really change the role of the air show - it creates a platform for us to talk in person."
