This year in Asia’s biggest airshow – Singapore Airshow – biggest planemakers from Airbus to Boeing will showcase their latest and greatest aircraft. At this year’s Singapore Airshow, luxury business jets will be on greatest display, along with an array of military fighter jets and helicopters. According to estimates by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Asia Pacific is likely to have 3.5 billion passengers by 2036, adding more than double the forecast for North America and Europe combined. To meet that demand, Boeing estimates carriers will need 16,050 new aircraft valued at $2.5 trillion by 2036. Let us take a look at some of the spectacular photos from Singapore Airshow:
