As the aviation industry gathers this week for the Singapore Airshow there is no shortage of military hardware made by US aerospace giant Boeing.
Spectators have been treated to displays by the F-15 fighter and Apache attack helicopter. However, conspicuously absent from the event are Boeing’s commercial jets.
Instead, attendees of Asia’s biggest airshow have to make do with models of Boeing’s passenger planes or can step inside an “immersive display” of the Boeing 777X cabin.

It’s Boeing’s first major aviation event since a cabin panel detached mid-flight from a brand new Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9 in January.
In a preliminary investigation of the Alaska Airlines incident, US regulators found four critical bolts – meant to hold the so-called door plug in place – were missing. It led the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to order a temporary global grounding of the aircraft.
The planes are now flying again but the FAA said it will not yet allow Boeing to expand production of its best-selling narrow body family of jets, which includes the 737 Max 9.
In contrast, Boeing’s arch-rival Airbus took to Singapore’s skies with its A350-1000 passenger jet.
In its latest earnings report, the European aerospace giant said it would deliver 800 planes this year, including its A320neo which is a competitor to Boeing’s 737 Max. Since the Alaska Airline incident, Boeing orders have shrunk significantly, delivering just 27 planes in January, compared to 67 in December.
