China's Commercial Aircraft Corporation (Comac) is showcasing its C919 airliner and other products at the Singapore Airshow, which begins Tuesday and lasts six days. The C919 will have a demonstration flight, potentially the only single-aisle jet to do so, as Airbus focuses on its A350 series and Boeing stages ground displays. Comac executives plan to meet with civil aviation regulators from ASEAN countries during the event. The company aims to expand its presence and support network in Southeast Asia, hosting a forum on Asia-Pacific industrial cooperation in Singapore ahead of the airshow to engage partners and potential customers. The airshow is held twice yearly and attracted 60,000 attendees from over 50 countries in its previous edition.
