SIA firms up order for another 25 widebody aircraft from Airbus


Singapore Airlines (SIA) has firmed up an order for 25 more widebody aircraft from Airbus.

Five of the aircraft are the A380.

SIA has placed three consecutive orders for the A380 - making it the second largest customer of the A380 - and now has 19 such aircraft in service.

The remaining 20 aircraft are in the mid-size category - the A350-900s, which will be used on medium- and long-haul routes.

The five A380 are probably more for replacement rather than fleet expansion. The same goes for the A350, probably to replace the A330 and B777 since SIA no longer has B787 on order for itself after pushing the 20 orders to Scoot.
