SIA: We’re confident of full-service market
Singapore Airlines will order 25 more widebody aircraft from Airbus, comprising five double deck A380s and 20 A350-900s.
The latest A380 order will be the third to be placed by the airline, bringing the total number of A380s ordered by SIA to 24.
The airline, which was the launch operator for the A380, now has 19 of the aircraft in service, flying to 10 destinations in Europe, the US and the Asia-Pacific region from its Singapore base.
In the mid-size category, the new A350 XWB order will see the airline double its backlog for the all-new aircraft to 40. The A350-900s will be used by the airline on both medium and long haul routes.
"This major order demonstrates our commitment to the Singapore hub, and our confidence in the strength of the market for premium full-service travel," said Goh Choon Phong, CEO, Singapore Airlines.
