Singapore Airlines unit Scoot on Wednesday said it was confident Boeing will solve problems with its 787 Dreamliner and reaffirmed its order for 20 of the aircraft.
"Boeing has kept us fully informed about the performance of the 787 since we committed to acquire the aircraft," the budget carrier said in a statement after Japan's two biggest airlines grounded all their Dreamliners due to safety fears.
"Boeing has kept us fully informed about the performance of the 787 since we committed to acquire the aircraft."
An All Nippon Airlines (ANA) Dreamliner was forced to make an emergency landing on Wednesday in the latest crisis to hit the new Boeing jetliner.
Scoot's Dreamliner order was estimated to be worth $4.0 billion when it was announced in October.
"We are confident that Boeing's ongoing performance monitoring and external review process will identify and resolve any issues, and look forward to taking delivery of our first 787 on schedule in late 2014," the statement said.

After Qantas and ANA affirmed their plans to stick with the Dreamliner, Scoot has also made its statement to reveal likewise. With its first B787 to be delivered late next year, hopefully by then the Dreamliner will prove its doubters wrong.
