A discussion about the airline industry, airline employees, and all things related

The Sydney-Singapore route looks to be a winner for Singapore Airlines.  The airline which took delivery of the first A380 just last year is already using the super-jumbo on the route and is expected to expand service even more. 

Singapore will add a fourth daily trip between the two cities using a Boeing 777-300ER, bringing weekly total service to Sydney to 28 flights. 

"We have been especially pleased with the increased demand for our Sydney services,'' said Huang Cheng Eng, SIA's executive vice president of marketing and regions.

Singapore took delivery of their second A380 this past week.  The airline has chosen a design with up to 471 seats, including 12 suites each equipped with a full-length bed behind sliding doors and flat screen TVs. 

Emirates, however, is one-upping Singapore by installing showers in their aircraft.
