Singapore Airlines announced last week that Amsterdam will be the inaugural destination for its new-generation Airbus A350 fleet, with services expected to begin by April 2016. The Airline has 63 A350-900s on firm order, the first of which is due for delivery in January.
Prior to the introduction of Amsterdam services, the aircraft will be operated on select Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur flights on a temporary basis, for crew training purposes. Additional A350 destinations are to be announced in the coming months.
Our investment in the A350s is in line with Singapore Airlines’ longstanding commitment to operate a young and modern fleet. The highly efficient new aircraft will offer us the potential to open new routes, enhancing our network and further strengthening the Singapore hub,” said Senior Vice President Marketing Planning, Ms Lee Wen Fen.
