Airbus has laid claim as the largest international exhibitor at the Singapore Airshow, where the A350-1000 commercial airliner headlines a list of new products from each of its divisions, including the defense, space and helicopter markets. 

The A350-1000 has just arrived at Changi, as it continues a three-week demonstration tour of the Asia-Pacific region. Set to enter service with launch customer Qatar Airways, the largest of the A350 XWB family has enjoyed particular commercial success with airlines in Asia, drawing firm orders for 43 examples from Asiana Airlines, Cathay Pacific, and Japan Airlines.  

On display here by Airbus Defense and Space, the A400M airlifter has proven its capabilities by playing a critical role in humanitarian operations around the world. The Royal Malaysian Air Force operates the aircraft on display at the show. 

Finally, two of the company’s most popular helicopters—the H130 and H135—highlight Airbus’s presence in the light-medium category for a wide range of operations, including public utility, tourism, and private or corporate transportation.

At the Airbus stand in the main exhibition hall (J23), the company is displaying scale models of the A350-1000, A400M, AstroBus-XS satellite and H145 helicopter. The exhibit will also feature a full size mock-up of a section of the new A330neo Airspace cabin, as well as an area dedicated to the company’s growing services business, including information about the Skywise data platform and the Hangar of the Future project to digitize the MRO business.

Airbus has dedicated another section of the stand to innovations, embodied by a prototype of the Skyways autonomous parcel delivery drone, now at an advanced stage of development in collaboration with partners in Singapore. Visitors also can take a virtual reality tour experiencing the world of Airbus today and a glimpse of what the future may hold.
