Aircraft produced by Chinese manufacturers are standing out at the ongoing 10th Singapore Airshow, from the country's homegrown airliners to a growing range of small planes.

Running from Tuesday to Sunday, the event has attracted more than 1,000 companies from over 50 countries and regions, according to the organizers.

This year's flying display program features eight participants, including air force teams from six countries -- China, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, India and Indonesia -- as well as commercial aircraft manufacturers the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) and Airbus.

COMAC arranged a solo flying display of its narrow-body C919 airliner, which previously appeared at the Singapore Airshow in February 2024.

The airshow also includes a static exhibition of more than 35 aircraft, covering commercial, business, military and unmanned platforms from leading manufacturers and operators. COMAC is showcasing both the C919 and the C909.

Many Chinese aircraft manufacturers have used the event to draw the attention of potential buyers from around the world.

"From this morning till now, we've received many clients from Southeast Asia, the Middle East and even Africa," said Wei Yachuan, deputy general manager of Aerospace Times Feipeng Technology Co., Ltd, a producer of small airplanes and drones, as well as advanced aviation control systems.

The sustained efforts of Chinese producers to strengthen their presence have earned recognition from the event organizers.

"I think there's a growing interest -- China to promote their products, their latest technologies. We also see an increase in participation from China, even from the SMEs coming in. So I think that's a very positive development and I think that ties in with what the Singapore Air Show offers," said Leck Chet Lam, head of Singapore Airshow's organizing committee.
