Innovative ideas bring Singaporean students to Airbus’ headquarters

Six Singaporean students were given “VIP treatment” by Airbus earlier this month, with a visit to the company’s headquarters in Toulouse, France – which the group earned in September by winning first prizes in the island nation’s annual CREATE high school competition. Their trip included tours of the A330 and A380 final assembly lines in Toulouse, where they saw a Singapore Airlines A380 being prepared for delivery. The “CREATE” competition for 2011 was organised by the Singapore Economic Development Board with support from Airbus and Singapore Airlines, and focussed on green technology in aviation.
