Singapore Airlines Fleet

The Singapore Airlines fleet features an exclusively wide-body aircraft from four aircraft families: the Boeing 777, Airbus A380, Airbus A340, and the Airbus A330. In keeping with its policy of maintaining a young fleet, which stands at an average of 6.3 years as at 7 April 2012, it renews its fleet frequently.

The airline used its fleet according to plane makes. The Boeing 747-400s were called "Megatop", the Boeing 777s were called "Jubilee" and the Airbus A340-500s were named "Leadership". Names for airliners previously flown by the airline include: "Superbus" for the 8 Airbus A300, "3TEN" for the 23 Airbus A310-300, "Celestar" for the 17 Airbus A340-300,"Super B" for the 23 Boeing 747-200B, "Big Top" for the 14 Boeing 747-300. By contrast, Singapore has never named the Airbus A380 or Airbus A330.

In September 2009, the Airbus A380 marked a milestone with the airline when the tenth delivery of its frame exceeded that of the Boeing 747-400 for the first time.

Famous quotes containing the word fleet:

    Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
    Which I gaze on so fondly today,
    Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
    Like fairy-gifts fading away.
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
