The latest-generation widebod-ies from Airbus and Boeing will go head to head at an air show for the first time in Singapore next week. Southeast Asia is a key battleground for the contest between the A350 and the 787, with the Asia-Pacific region accounting for one-third of all sales of the two twinjets. It will be the first full appearance at an air show by the A350-900. The aircraft's last public appearance was a fly-past towards the end of the 2013 Paris air show, a week after making its maiden flight.
