SIA seals $18.77b deal for 39 Boeing units

Deliveries will be made starting from 2020.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) finalised the purchase of 39 Boeing aircraft, composed of 20 777-9s and 19 787-10s, for $18.77b (US$13.80b).

According to a press release, the purchase agreement also has six options for each aircraft type, which if exercised, will enlarge the deal to as many as 51 aircraft.

The 777-9s are intended primarily for long-haul routes and are due for delivery from 2021.

The 787-10s are to be operated on medium-range routes and are due for delivery from 2020.

SIA is due to take delivery of the world’s first 787-10 in the first half of 2018, from a 2013 order with Boeing for 30 aircraft.

SIA currently has more than 50 current-generation Boeing 777 aircraft in service. Its subsidiaries SilkAir, Scoot and SIA Cargo also operate Boeing aircraft, with 737 MAX 8 and 737-800, 787-8/9 and 747-400 Freighter types in service, respectively.

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.
