Singapore Airlines Boeing 777
Singapore Airlines Boeing 777

Singapore Airlines operates one of the youngest fleets in the World. Its streamlined fleet features aircraft from just 3 aircraft families, including the Boeing 747, the Boeing 777, and the Airbus A340.

The airline has a history of dubbing its fleet according to plane makes. The Boeing 747-400s are dubbed "Megatop", while the Boeing 777s are called "Jubilee". The Airbus A340-500s were named "Leadership," but that has since been dropped. Names for airliners previously flown by the airline includes "Superbus" for the 8 Airbus A300, "3TEN" for the 23 Airbus A310-300, "Celestar" for the 17 Airbus A340-300,"Super B" for the 23 Boeing 747-200B, "Big Top" for the 14 Boeing 747-300.

Singapore Airlines flew, for a short period of time, a Concorde that it shared with British Airways. The plane had Singapore Airlines' livery on one side, and British Airways' logo on the other.

It is the launch customer for the Airbus A380-800, and will be the first airline to operate it when it comes into service in October 2007. It has 19 of these aircraft on order, options on a further 6 aircraft and plans to introduce it on its Kangaroo route services from Sydney to London via its base at Changi Airport (ref: Airliner World, March 2005), though, after a new 6 month delay that was announced by Airbus, seems to have put off the entry into service date to late 2007.[1]

Singapore Airlines also has 10 more Boeing 777-300ER on firm order, with deliveries well underway.

[edit] Notes

Singapore Airlines Boeing 747-400
Singapore Airlines Boeing 747-400
  • The A340-500 have Executive Economy cabins instead of regular Economy ones. Thus the A340s have a 2-3-2 configuration instead of the usual 2-4-2 configuration. There are also fewer rows of seats. Singapore Airlines did this because they use the A345's for their ULH routes from Singapore to Los Angeles and New York nonstop. As the A340-500 does not have the range to do this with a full passenger load, Singapore Airlines replaced the Economy cabin with an Executive Economy cabin, seating fewer people, but with greater comfort.
  • Singapore Airlines operates the world's longest nonstop flight (SQ21 and 22). It uses an A340-500 that flies from Singapore's Changi International Airport to New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport. The aircraft, which have a special seat configuration on 181 passengers, have its own 'Executive Economy class' and Raffles Class. When flying from Singapore to New Jersey, the plane usually flies over the North Pole and crosses the Arctic Ocean. The length of this route is 9530mi (8280nm) or 15340km.
  • The B777s follow a 3-3-3 economy configuration, with the B747-400s having a 3-4-3 economy configuration.
  • Every seat on every aircraft is equipped with Krisworld, Singapore Airlines' inflight entertainment system. Most aircraft have an AVOD (Audio & Visual On Demand) system, while older aircraft have a slightly smaller selection of movies, TV programmes, and games.
  • The A380s will be registered 9V-SKA, 9V-SKB, 9V-SKC, ..., 9V-SKJ.
  • The B777-300ERs will be registered 9V-SWA, 9V-SWB, 9V-SWD, ..., 9V-SWS.
  • The new A380s and 777-300ERs will feature larger "SINGAPORE AIRLINES" titles, on the A380 it is applied throughout the area between the upper and lower deck windows, on the 773 it will be in the front part of the fuselage. They will also be fitted with new cabins, including 1-2-1 seating configuration on first and business classes, as well as a newer economy class and will be fitted with the new KrisWorld in-flight entertainment system.
  • All of Singapore Airlines' 777-212s are the Extended Range (ER) models; featuring centre fuel tanks for maximum storage. The airline however chooses to only refer to the 9V-SV* registered series of aircraft as 777-200ERs as those planes are certified to 656,000 lb (298,000 kg) Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW) and fly the longer intercontinental routes. The 9V-SR* and 9V-SQ* registered aircraft feature derated engines which can be electronically reprogrammed to produce more thrust and thus operate longer flights at higher MTOWs if ever needed.

  • 6 of the Boeing 747-400 were withdrawn from regular operation since the SARS crisis in the year 2003. Another 2 will be withdrawn later, and all 8 will be sold to two airlines from the year 2006 to 2008, after being converted into freighters. There is a possibility they may be transferred to Singapore Airlines Cargo, as an addition to its existing 14 B747-412Fs (dubbed "MegaArk"s).
  • In August 2004, the airline decided to order 19 Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, and the order was signed on 23 December 2004, during which an unused option for Boeing 777 family was converted into an additional order for Boeing 777-300ER.
  • British Airways, for a short period of time, flew a Concorde (registered G-BOAD) that had Singapore Airlines' livery on one side, and British Airways' logo on the other. The aircraft, operated by BA pilots and staffed with flight attendants from both airlines, flew between Singapore and London via Bahrain.
  • Singapore Airlines is the largest Boeing 777 operator in the world with 65 in service, 11 more than the next largest operator and Star Alliance partner, United Airlines. The airline has 25 more on order or on options. Singapore Airlines also recently took delivery of the 600th 777 produced.
  • It should be noted that Singapore Airlines has never painted an aircraft without its trademark tail livery. Even special liveries such as the Tropical Megatop and the Star Alliance livery still retain the signature 'Golden Pigeon' on their vertical stabilizers. Another recent example would be the 2 freighters leased to Great Wall Airlines, which suspended operations. The aircraft operated in a hybrid livery, with Great Wall fuselage colours and a SQ tail logo. With the resumption of flight operations by Great Wall Airlines in February 2007, both aircraft have since reverted back to full Great Wall Airlines livery.
