Singapore Airlines (SIA) is in discussions with major aircraft manufacturers to place a large new order, according to multiple reports citing industry sources. Both The Straits Times and Channel NewsAsia say SIA is talking with Airbus and Boeing about purchasing at least 50 of the industry’s biggest jets. The sources indicate the talks are focused on acquiring a fleet size of no fewer than 50 aircraft, suggesting SIA is planning a substantial expansion or fleet replacement involving widebody or large-capacity models. The reports do not specify the exact aircraft types under consideration, when an agreement might be reached, or the total value of the potential order. They also do not outline whether SIA is considering a single manufacturer or splitting the order between Airbus and Boeing. Overall, the shared information is that SIA is actively discussing a major purchase with both companies, with a minimum order size of 50 jets.
