Singapore Airlines Firms Up Order For More A380s And A350 XWBs

Repeat Order 'Shows Great Endorsement' Of Airbus Products

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has firmed up an order for 25 more widebody aircraft from Airbus, including five A380s, and 20 A350-900s. The deal was completed in 2012 and follows an agreement in October 2012.

Singapore Airlines has placed three consecutive orders for the A380, making it the second largest customer of the A380, and now has 19 aircraft in service. In the mid-size category, the new A350 XWB order sees 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 second repeat order from one of the largest A380 operators today is a great endorsement” said John Leahy, Chief Operating Officer, Customers, Airbus. “We’re also delighted that Singapore Airlines are demonstrating equal confidence in the A350. With both these aircraft, Singapore Airlines will have the most modern, most comfortable and most efficient fleet the market can offer.”
