SIA expands fleet with A330s

SINGAPORE Airlines (SIA) is growing its fleet by leasing 15 new Airbus A330 aircraft, to be delivered between 2013 and 2015.

The aircraft will be used on routes within Asia, as well as to points in Australia and the Middle East, according to a press release by SIA.

SIA CEO, Goh Choon Phong, said: “The A330s will enable us to add more capacity on regional and medium-range routes, and further strengthen SIA’s network offering.”

“We cannot say at this early stage which specific routes they may be used on,” an SIA spokesperson added.

The A330s, leased for a minimum of six years, with an option to extend, will join 19 other A330-300s already in service.

The aircraft will seat customers in a two-class configuration, but the number of seats has yet to be determined.
