Singapore Airlines swaps orders of 787-10s for 777-9s

Singapore Airlines is swapping 14 Boeing 787-10s for 11 Boeing 777-9s. With this update, Singapore Airlines now has plans to have a total of 30 Boeing 787-10s (down from 44) and 31 Boeing 777-9s (up from 20). Deliveries of these additional 11 Boeing 777-9s are planned for beyond FY25/26. This gives SIA both a delay in new aircraft financing requirements and it gives them a replacement for the A380 and 777-300ER. Many will look on this agreement as an effective deferral and many Boeing investors might argue that this is no great gain, indeed the margin is likely to be lower
