SIA defers A380 deliveries
SINGAPORE – Singapore Airlines will defer delivery of eight A380 superjumbos by six to 12 months.
The airline, which posted its first quarterly loss in six years during the June quarter, already has nine A380s in operation with two more due for delivery in the current financial year.
"The revised schedule will see the 12th aircraft delivered in October 2010 rather than April 2010, while the 19th aircraft will be delivered in January 2012 rather than January 2011," the airline said in a statement.
Aviation analysts say the decision has been taken in the light of SIA’s difficulty in filling its premium seats during the global economic downturn.
