SIA to deliver new aircrafts in 2018

The new aircrafts will be used for non-stop flights to New York and Los Angeles.

CIMB reported that Singapore Airlines (SIA) will deliver new-generation aircrafts this year.

New generation of A380s will be used this year, as well as medium-haul 787-10s and A350-900s to replace the old 777s on regional routes.

SIA has already unveiled its new long-haul A380 plane, whilst SilkAir, which is SIA’s wholly owned subsidiary, recently unveiled 737 MAX 8s to replace A319 and A320 fleet.

Further, SIA’s new generation of aircrafts offer new revenue opportunities.

Here’s more from CIMB:

SIA will receive all seven ultra-long-haul versions of the A350 this year, enabling it to commence non-stop flights to New York and Los Angeles.

The long-haul version of the A350-900s open up longer and thinner options in Europe that cannot be economically served using its 777-300ERs. SilkAir’s MAX 8s will help it serve longer routes, which it cannot serve using its current fleet types, including to Hiroshima.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
