    A S$38 MILLION campus bringing together all of airplane maker Airbus' operations in Singapore was officially opened in Seletar on Friday, nearly nine months after it was initially scheduled, due to Covid-19.

    The consolidation comes in the midst of the devastating impact of Covid-19 on the global aviation and aerospace industry. Ancillary services such as the maintenance and production of aircraft have suffered a 40 per cent hit when compared with last year, while passenger numbers have plunged by 66 per cent.
