GOOD FOR YOU, SINGAPORE AIRLINES

Recently, Singapore Airlines (SIA) has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Airbus  to buy their recently released A350F freighter aircraft which the airline plans to swap with their 15 A320neo and two A350-900 passenger aircraft. With an agreement of purchasing 7 of these A350F freighter aircraft (with options to order another five aircraft), SIA will become the first airlines to operate this new generation circa 100-tonne widebody freighter aircraft powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engine. This investment will reduce the fuel burn by 40% while performing the similar tasks and re-assure their top notch performance in major segments such as e-commerce, fresh produce, and pharmaceuticals. The delivery of these aircrafts are set for the latter part of 2025.
