24 Apr 2020, Singapore: The recent COVID-19 situation, Singapore Government, under IRAS provided the "Jobs Support Scheme" (JSS). In summary, JSS provide 75% financial assistance to the Aviation industry. If you want to know more about what is Singapore JSS -

I am working working in the Aerospace industry - under JSS, my company only get 75% financial assistance for the month of April and May while other months the company only get 25% financial support on employees' payroll who are Singaporean and Singapore Permanent Residents (SPR). Some of our employees, misunderstood that the company was getting 75% financial assistance for the 1st half of 2020.
This article is about the difference between Aviation and Aerospace Industry! In summary, Aerospace is an engineering effort to fly in
the atmosphere (know as aeronautics) and surrounding space (known as astronautics) while Aviation is a design, development, production, operation and use of aircraft. In layman, Aerospace is company like Pratt & Whitney, Bell Helicopter, etc. while Aviation is AirAsia, Singapore Airline, etc.).
I found this article and it clearly explain the differences: -
Aerospace
Aerospace is the human effort in
science, engineering, and business to fly in the atmosphere of Earth
(aeronautics) and surrounding space (astronautics). Aerospace organizations
research, design, manufacture, operate, or maintain aircraft or spacecraft.
Aerospace activity is very diverse, with a multitude of commercial, industrial
and military applications.
Aerospace is not the same as
airspace, which is the physical air space directly above a location on the
ground. The beginning of space and the ending of the air is considered as 100
km above the ground according to the physical explanation that the air pressure
is too low for a lifting body to generate meaningful lift force without
exceeding orbital velocity.
Aviation
Aviation, or air transport,
refers to the activities surrounding mechanical flight and the aircraft
industry. Aircraft includes fixed-wing and rotary-wing types, morph able wings,
wing-less lifting bodies, as well as lighter-than-air craft such as balloons
and airships.
Aviation began in the 18th
century with the development of the hot air balloon, an apparatus capable of
atmospheric displacement through buoyancy. Some of the most significant
advancements in aviation technology came with the controlled gliding flying of
Otto Lilienthal in 1896; then a large step in significance came with the construction
of the first powered airplane by the Wright brothers in the early 1900s. Since
that time, aviation has been technologically revolutionized by the introduction
of the jet which permitted a major form of transport throughout the world.

I hope this article help you understand Aviation and Aerospace Industry better!
