The U.S. aerospace industry has a major presence at Singapore Airshow 2018, with more than 170 exhibitors, an array of aircraft on static display, and a large interagency delegation featuring senior leaders from the Department of State, Department of Defense, Department of Commerce and the Federal Aviation Administration.

"America’s robust participation in the Singapore Airshow 2018 is another clear reflection of our unwavering commitment to the region," said Stephanie Syptak-Ramnath, interim chargé d'affaires of the U.S. Embassy in Singapore.

Most of the U.S. participation will take place in the nearly 2,000-sq-meter USA Partnership Pavilion, the centerpiece of the American national presence. The pavilion includes 111 exhibitors, including 65 making their Singapore Airshow debuts. Twenty-three states are represented, including seven—Arizona, California, Idaho, Maryland, Missouri, New York and Oregon—hosting their own state-branded pavilions staffed with local economic development officials.

"The strong American presence at the Singapore Airshow reflects our industry’s commitment to our foreign partners, and to maintaining our role as the world leader in aerospace and defense exports,” said Aerospace Industries Association chief operating officer Robert Durbin.

Among the U.S. aerospace companies with a major presence at the airshow are Boeing, Honeywell, GE Aviation, Textron, and United Technologies.
