SIA: The mystery buyer of US$20b worth of planes
SIA has been revealed as the buyer of new-generation Boeing widebody planes worth US$13.8b. The order, previously attributed to an unidentified customer, is for 20 777-9s, an aircraft that is still being developed, and 19 stretched Dreamliners, the 787-10s that is due to enter service with airlines next year. The airline will have got a discount to the list price released, but Boeing says the value of the transaction would sustain thousands of US suppliers and more than 70,000 direct and indirect US jobs. The airline also has options for 12 more planes: 6 of each type. "These new aircraft will also provide the SIA Group with new growth opportunities, allowing us to expand our network and offer even more travel options for our customers," said SIA CE Goh Choon Phong. <br/>
