SIA to operate A350F freighters

Singapore Airlines (SIA) signed a LoI with Airbus to purchase seven A350F freighter aircraft. The new aircraft will replace the airline’s existing Boeing 747-400F. The pact includes a swap with 15 A320neo and two A350-900 passenger aircraft that are in the SIA Group order book. The A350Fs will replace seven 747-400F freighters, with options providing the ability to adapt our needs to future demand in the cargo market. “This will allow SIA to manage its expenditure, while continuing with the freighter renewal programme. Deliveries are scheduled to begin from FQ 2025. SIA will become the first airline to operate widebody freighter aircraft,” Goh Choon Phong, CEO, SIA said.
