AIA Prepares for Singapore Air Show
AIA looks forward to supporting the U.S. military and our member companies at the upcoming Feb. 2 – 7 Singapore Air Show, the largest aerospace and defense exhibition in Asia. With billion dollar contracts signed and more than 130,000 visitors at the 2008 show, the organizers predict an even more successful event.
A special thanks to AIA Regular Members: Bell Helicopter Textron, The Boeing Company, L-3 Communications Corporation and Sikorsky (UTC) for hosting lunches for AIA Associate Members during the air show. The lunches provide AIA suppliers with an excellent opportunity to strengthen their business relationships while highlighting their company’s capabilities.
AIA has a unique role at the air show, supporting the air operations, aircrew, security and corral for the military aircraft on display and in flight demonstrations. The KC-135 Stratotanker, B-52 Stratofortress, P-3 Orion, C-130J Hercules, F-15 Eagle, and Shadow and Scan Eagle unmanned aerial systems will be on display in the DOD corral of static aircraft. The B-1 and the much-anticipated A-10 Thunderbolt II, will be making their Asian flying debut at the show.
AIA, in coordination with Kallman Worldwide, the American Chamber of Commerce and the U.S. Embassy, is hosting a reception for U.S. exhibitors and VIP attendees at The Equinox, Swissotel, on Wednesday February 3. We extend our thanks to The Boeing Company, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Raytheon Company and United Technologies Corporation for sponsoring this event. The guest of honor will be the U.S Chargé d’ Affaires Daniel L. Shields III. Many other high-ranking international officials have been invited and are expected to attend, including Singapore Air Chief Brigadier General Ng Chee Meng and U.S. Pacific Air Forces Commander General Gary North.
