Further to our confirmation earlier that Leonardo had pulled out, Bell have also confirmed to HeliHub.com that they have decided not to exhibit.  Given that no Textron Group company now appears as an Exhibitor on the event website, we assume that includes Beechcraft and Cessna too.  This is a response to the Coronavirus situation.

Eugene Tan, a Senior Communications Strategist with Bell and based in Singapore, told HeliHub.com that some locally-based Bell staff will attend.

The corporate jet trade association NBAA announced last week that they will not be running their ABACE (Asia Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition) which was due to take place at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport from April 21-23.
