Singapore Air Show reports only one airline order today
Feb. 4, 2026, © Leeham News: It was another quiet day for commercial aviation at the Singapore Air Show.
One airplane orders was announced, by Tigerair of Taiwan, for just four Airbus A321neos. Pratt & Whitney inked an order for its GTF engine to power A321s for Vietjet.
And that was it.

Nice pickup fore PW. Vietjet has to be convinced the new builds GTF has corrected the issues.
Curious that RISE is doing airport testing in Singapore. Makes no sense other than some throw away attempt to spin Singapore Air.
Good of China to solicit public comments on the proposal. I guess they were asleep at the wheel when they wrote the specification.

Granted that a citizen in China speaking up against the props al would be no better off than a citizen in Minneapolis.
I surely can’t wait to see it.
