Singapore Airlines inks $3.77b order with GE Aviation

The order includes the purchase of 22 GE9X engines for its new Boeing 777-9 fleet.

Singapore Airlines inked a $3.77b (US$2.8b) order with engine provider GE Aviation to power its new Boeing 777-9 fleet, consisting of 31 aircrafts.

The order includes the purchase of an additional 22 GE9X engines and a 12-year services contract with GE. Initially, the airlines purchased 40 GE9X engines.

“The cutting-edge technologies that have gone into the Boeing 777-9 and the GE9X engines will help SIA to increase our operating efficiencies, lower our fuel burn, and materially reduce our carbon emissions. This will reinforce SIA’s position as a leading global airline, and enable us to capture future growth opportunities,” said SIA’s senior vice president for engineering, Lau Hwa Peng.

The GE9X engines are made with heat-resistant Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC) materials, additively-manufactured parts and lean-burn combustion that helps improve fuel efficiency. It has an overall pressure ratio of 60:1, the highest of any commercial airline engine in service.

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.
