Boeing - Singapore Airlines

[I-DISD]

*******************
Una fonte non ufficiale aveva riferito a Bloomberg stamattina che Boeing avrebbe vinto un nuovo contratto da Singapore Airlines per la fornitura di 18 aerei 777s, battendo la concorrenza di Airbus. L’operazione avrebbe dovuto avere un controvalore di $3,7 miliardi, ma un annuncio ufficiale era atteso ad oggi. Singapore Airlines ha ufficializzato l'ordine per 31 aerei (18 + opzione per altri 13) per un valore potenziale di $7,35 mld.

Bella notizia.
Credo che si tratti di -300ER
So che Airbus sta provando a proporre un A330 "light" per contrastare il 7E7.

Quanto agli A340 che dici tu non lo so.
Forse ti confondi con Thai che ha recentemente ordinato gli A340-500 e -600?

SQ ha i -500 e ha restituito i -300

Ciao

Singapore Air orders 18 Boeing 777 planes - report
Tuesday August 24, 9.55 pm ET

SINGAPORE, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Boeing Co. has won a US$3.7 billion aircraft order from Singapore Airlines Ltd. for 18 long-range 777s, beating Airbus SAS, Bloomberg reported, quoting people familiar with the deal.
General Electric Co. will supply the engines in a $540 million order from Asia's most profitable carrier.
A Singapore Airlines spokesman on Wednesday declined to comment on the report but said an announcement would be made soon.


Non si dice qual' è il modello scelto. Potrebbero essere tutti 300ER, come un mix di 300ER e 200LR.

[B7E7-FLR]

Penso sia -300ER che -200LR con vendita degli A345 a Boeing.

CORRECTED-Singapore Airlines plans US$7.35 bln Boeing order

Wednesday August 25, 5.59 am ET


In SINGAPORE story headlined "Singapore Airlines places US$7.35 bln Boeing order" please read in first paragraph ....signed a letter of intent to order up to 31.... instead of ....had ordered (Corrects to say 'letter of intent', not 'ordered'). A corrected story follows.

SINGAPORE, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Singapore Airlines Ltd. , the world's second-largest airline by market value, said on Wednesday it had signed a letter of intent to order up to 31 Boeing Co long-range 777-300ERs worth about US$7.35 billion in a fleet renewal programme.

The aircraft will be powered by engines from General Electric Co, Asia's most profitable airline said.

The national carrier had asked airframe manufacturers Boeing Co and Airbus SAS to bid for new plane orders it may place later this year.

Boeing, the No. 2 maker of jetliners, is in a dogfight for market share with No. 1 Airbus.

The planes will cover the medium-haul and regional needs of the 57 percent government-owned airline over the coming years.

UPDATE - Singapore Air plans US$7.35 bln Boeing order

Wednesday August 25, 6.56 am ET


By Katherine Espina


(Adds details)
SINGAPORE, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Singapore Airlines Ltd., the world's second most valuable airline, said on Wednesday it planned to buy up to 31 Boeing Co 777-300ER planes worth about US$7.35 billion to support growth plans.

The aircraft, 18 of which are to be ordered for delivery between 2006 and 2010, will be powered by huge engines from General Electric Co., Asia's most profitable airline said.

The remaining 13 are subject to the exercise of purchase rights, it said.

Singapore Airlines, known for a young fleet and premium service, had asked airframe manufacturers Boeing and Airbus SAS in February to tender for an order.

The 777-300ER is the world's largest twin-jet, offering low maintenance by having just two enormous engines but long range and almost the seating capacity of the four-engine Boeing 747-400 jumbo. It competes with Airbus's A340-600.

"With its use of new generation avionics and materials, and its higher operating efficiency, the B777-300ER will deliver lower operating costs," said Singapore Airlines' Chief Executive Officer Chew Choon Seng.

The order would allow the airline to achieve capacity growth of 4 to 6 percent a year, the company said. It would cover the medium- and long-haul needs of the 57 percent government-owned airline over coming years.

Singapore Airlines, Boeing's largest customer for the 777 aircraft, has a fleet of 89 planes, including 55 Boeing 777s, 29 Boeing 747s and five Airbus A340-500s, with firm orders for an additional four B777s.

The airline also has 10 of Airbus' colossal 555-seat A380s on order, and plans in the spring of 2006 to become the world's first carrier to fly the plane.

Rolls-Royce Group Plc. supplies engines for Singapore Airlines' other 777s but does not offer an engine for the 777-300ER, a heavyweight version.

The order should help Boeing, currently number-two maker of jetliners, in its fight to regain some market share from Airbus, the world's largest maker of civilian aircraft.

Chew said the evaluation process had been comprehensive and the competition between Airbus and Boeing for the order had been very keen.

In less than a decade, Boeing's share of the market for large commercial aircraft has dropped from 80 percent to less than half, while Airbus' share has shot to just over 50 percent.

Chew said the acquisition would be financed largely from internal cash flows but the airline might consider options such as leasing or debt financing if terms were attractive.

The carrier also said it had decided not to place new orders for regional aircraft despite asking for proposals from the manufacturers earlier.

It said the airframe makers have offered the Airbus A330-200 and the new Boeing 7E7 for evaluation but the proposals did not meet the carrier's financial criteria. Airbus is co-owned by European aerospace company EADS and Britain's BAE Systems.

Hai ragione Stefano, mi devo essere confuso con la Thai.

Grazie.

Credo proprio che hai ragione.
Fino a 31 B777-300ER sembrano adatti a rimpiazzare i 747-400.
E mi sembra pure giusto visto che SQ mantiene sempre una flotta molto giovane.
Peccato perche' i 747 SQ sono ormai un classico da decenni.
