New Subsidiary Airline Selects Boeing 777
Singapore Airlines’ new subsidiary airline has selected the Boeing 777-200 ahead of its launch of commercial flights next year.
The aircraft type was selected following a detailed evaluation. Aircraft will initially be acquired from the parent company, Singapore Airlines, and reconfigured in a new seating layout.
The B777-200’s proven versatility and reliability are key deciding factors in the selection of the aircraft. The B777 family of aircraft has been a mainstay of the Singapore Airlines fleet since its introduction in 1997.
“The selection of the initial fleet marks another milestone in the establishment of the new airline. The process is progressing well for our launch next year,” said Campbell Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of the new airline.
The new airline, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, will operate under a
no-frills, low-fare model serving medium and long-haul
routes. It will be operated independently and managed
separately from Singapore Airlines. Details of its
branding, products and services, and route network will be
unveiled in the coming
months.
