Some news just in.
SINGAPORE, June 14 (Reuters) – Singapore Airlines Ltd. (SIAL.SI: Quote, Profile, Research), the world’s No. 2 airline by market value, said on Wednesday it would buy 20 Boeing (BA.N: Quote, Profile, Research) 787-9 planes, and has rights to purchase another 20.
The carrier said the list price for the 20 firm orders was US$4.52 billion

It looks like Boeing – a bit by luck – has ripped the belly from Airbus with its 787/777 combo. Really, the only solid line A. still has is the little 320, now that the 380 is in trouble

Could this loss for Airbus be attributed more to concerns about the A350 redesign…the delays in the A380…or a combination of both?
Although the frustration of A380 delays are there, and even though SQ did say it might keep the A350/A370 in consideration, it would just narrow down to Airbus not having a framework on the new plane yet.

Great news… quite expected nonetheless. Those 20 options should be turned into firm options soon enough.

Brilliant news, glad the B787 has got another boost, i’m not one-sided to A or B but the B787 just appeals to me more,
Any ideas what routes these are likely to be put on, would they likely be used for medium-haul expansion, as most of the Singapore fleet is large long-haul aircraft used for distant Aurstralian, European and American Markets
