SIA gets fifth superjumbo; to be used on Heathrow route
29.06.08
Singapore Airlines has taken delivery of its fifth Airbus A380 superjumbo which will be used for its Singapore - Heathrow service starting on July 16, the airline said. The A380 will be the second deployed for the route after the world's biggest plane made its debut at Heathrow on a Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight from the city-state in March.
However both planes will be temporarily redeployed to SIA's Beijing route to cater for increased demand ahead of the Olympic Games from August 2 for a week, the airline said in a statement late Saturday. SIA has committed to buying a total of 19 of the planes.
