New Boeing 737 MAX 8 to take flight under SilkAir

Its first flight will go to Hiroshima, Japan.

Singapore Airline's regional arm SilkAir welcomed the first of its Boeing 737 MAX 8 (MAX 8).

According to a press release, the aircraft is the first arrival of 37 MAX 8s that SilkAir has ordered.

Two more MAX 8s are expected to be delivered by the end of the year, with another 34 on order.

The MAX 8 will hold 156 seats, 12 for business class and 144 for economy class.

The first inaugural MAX 8 flight will go to Hiroshima, Japan on 30 October 2017.

A return flight service will run thrice a week between Hiroshima and Singapore.

All MAX 8 aircraft will also be deployed to other long-haul destinations in the network including Cairns, Darwin, Kathmandu, Hyderabad and Bangalore.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
