Singapore Airlines
Singapore Airlines at a glance
Singapore Airlines is the benchmark carrier of global aviation, a byword for service built on a young all-widebody fleet of about 150 aircraft flying from Singapore Changi to some 80 destinations. Its A350-900ULRs operate the longest flights in the world, nonstop to New York, while Suites class on the A380 remains a first-class icon.
Led since 2011 by Goh Choon Phong, the group pairs the flag carrier with low-cost Scoot and a 25.1% stake in Air India, acquired through the Vistara merger, giving it a second engine of growth in the world's fastest-expanding major aviation market. Thirty-one Boeing 777-9s are on order as the next flagship.
