Previously, some participants reduced delegation members and even completely withdrew from the largest aerospace exhibition in Asia. The reason, the corona virus outbreak that has spread to Singapore, until the government raises its status to orange alias alert.

Bloomberg reported that Boeing and Airbus reduced the number of delegations they sent to the Singapore Airshow 2020. "The executive meeting they scheduled Monday, 10 February 2020 has also been canceled," the Bloomberg report said, Tuesday, 11 February 2020.

The more extreme step was chosen by Lockheed Martin Corp, an F-35 fighter aircraft manufacturer that totally withdrew from the Singapore Airshow 2020 activity. "Likewise, aircraft manufacturers from China Commercial Aircraft Corporation from China who chose to withdraw from the aerospace exhibition."

Because I was afraid of the spread of the Corona virus, the Singapore Airshow 2020 committee also limited the number of tickets they printed. This is to avoid physical touch between the committee's hands with the participants and fellow participants.

Singapore Airshow is one of the largest aerospace exhibitions in Asia. In 2018, Singapore Airshow succeeded in absorbing more than 54,000 visitors who spent US $ 247 million (around Rp.3.3 trillion) for accommodation and tickets during the exhibition two years ago. Aerospace industry players can understand if the Singapore Airshow 2020 will be empty of visitors and there will be no big business deal.
