SIA's newly acquired Boeing 787-10 aim to boost air competitiveness

The aircrafts will be used for flights up to eight hours including Osaka and Perth.

Singapore Airlines has taken delivery of its first Boeing 787-10 from South Carolina which will enter commercial service next month in an effort to keep up pace with increasingly competitive air travel demand.

According to a press release, SIA is the world’s first airline to accept delivery of Boeing’s newest aircraft variant which will then be used for flights of up to eight hours including Osaka and Perth.

“It is an honour for us to be the world’s first airline to take delivery of this amazing aircraft. The 787-10 is indeed a magnificent piece of engineering and truly a work of art. It will be an important element in our overall growth strategy, enabling us to expand our network and strengthen our operations,” said SIA CEO Mr Goh Choon Phong.

Constructed using lightweight composite materials, the 68-metre 787-10 is the longest variant of Boeing’s Dreamliner aircraft range that offers enhanced operating efficiency and advanced technology to offer an improved cabin experience.

“The delivery of the first 787-10 underscores our longstanding commitment to operate a modern fleet, and marks the start of a new chapter in our shared story with Boeing,” Goh added.

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.
