Singapore Airlines (SIA) Boeing 787-10 9V-SCA’s arrival at Changi Airport after its epic ferry flight from Charleston, via Osaka Kansai, was indeed a cause for celebration.
Not only did it mark the first delivery of a 787-10 to an airline customer anywhere in the world, it also made SIA the first airline group to have all three Dreamliner variants in its fleet, with the 787-10 in Singapore Airlines colours joining the bright yellow -8s and -9s already flying with its low-cost carrier unit Scoot.

says:like the oldset up much much better
Mike
says:@Geoff Cropley, it might be more relevant when making a comment if you were to specify what you mean by liking the “oldset up” better.
Do you refer to SQs maintenance procedures, or maybe the new SQ cabin layout and if so, specifically which? Business, economy?
Having read the article and not actually travelled aboard this aircraft I would of course be interested in reading actual passenger feedback.
Any chance of offering more specifics to your comment? Thanks.
Fred
says:Interesting on new 787-10 but would like to know what engines on SA as well as other airlines. Most articles do not mention make of engines which I find interest.
Riplander
says:@FRED
SIA Boeing 787-10s utilises the Rolls Royce 1000 TEN engine series. The engines are updated from the Package C engines which are currently causing blade problems to most operators so SIA should be largely unaffected.

says:Me neither Peter L. 9 abreast is OK is you are under 5 foot and under 65 kgs but not the average Aussie bloke. My $$’s go to any airline that has a decent Prem. Eycl and reasonable legroom.
Rocket
says:Oh my goodness, Singapore Airlines would have to be the one airline in MOST dire need of a new livery… no problem with the logo as it’s long standing but that livery is the most boring one going around, apart from the amateurish PRC efforts… seriously, the airline claims to have this fantastic reputation (much of it is hype of course) yet its livery looks like a second rate sixties effort.

says:@Rocket
You mean the reputation that comes with it winning awards after awards and only bested by Qatar Airways as the world’s best airline? It’s hype is justified, even though their standards may have dipped compared to the past it is still leagues ahead of every airlines (except maybe Qatar Airways).
