Singapore Airlines’ all-new A350 first, business class suites
Nov 05, 2024, 07:49 AMI don’t pretend to know the airline industry but pretty surprised that SIA splashing out that kind of money to retrofit existing metal over 6 years. I suspect that the delays in getting 777-9 is worse than reported (2027), the Boeing strike not helping, as well as the fact that they wo...

Mar 01, 2024, 12:38 AMThanks for flagging it. I agree the interesting take partly with allegedly inside information of how the news was broken to her. “ She did not see it coming at all, and nor did those around her.”Based on The Australian article's reason behind her departure, it would mean the IPO may not be the op...

Aircraft Code for 737 Max 8/9 etc
