Boeing to Highlight Growth and Autonomy at Singapore Airshow
  • Immersive exhibit features full-size 777X interior section and Wisk’s Gen 6 all-electric air taxi cabin with VR experience

SINGAPORE, January 20, 2026 — With growing market demand across Southeast Asia, Boeing [NYSE: BA] will highlight its portfolio of commercial airplanes, defense platforms and services at the Singapore Airshow 2026.

Boeing forecasts that Southeast Asia’s passenger air traffic will increase at a 7% annual rate, with regional airlines needing 4,885 new airplanes through 2044 to meet the increased demand. That fleet growth will require about 243,000 new aviation personnel in the region including more than 62,000 new pilots to fly and maintain the global commercial aviation fleet over the next 20 years.

“This region remains one of the fastest growing aviation markets in the world,” said Penny Burtt, president of Boeing Southeast Asia. “The Singapore Airshow is an important opportunity for Boeing to engage with customers, governments, suppliers and universities to strengthen our partnerships on safety, innovation and sustainable solutions that meet the region’s long-term aviation and defense needs.”

On display at the show will be key Boeing autonomous products for commercial and defense customers. 

Wisk's air taxi cabin makes its first appearance at Singapore Airshow after its Gen 6 aircraft successfully completed its first flight in December 2025.

Additionally, Boeing subsidiary Insitu Pacific, as part of the Team Defence Australia delegation, will highlight its ScanEagle and Integrator systems and payload capabilities.

Displays and experiences
Visitors to the Boeing exhibit will experience the future of flight with two immersive and interactive product displays:

  • A full size 777X interior section showcasing a wider cabin and spacious architecture
  • Wisk’s Gen 6 all-electric air taxi cabin with virtual reality headsets to experience autonomous urban air mobility
