PARIS: Singapore Airlines (SIA) <\/span>is in talks with Airbus and Boeing to buy at least 50 of the industry’s biggest jets, as it plans a next phase of growth from next decade, two industry sources said.<\/p>\n The Southeast Asian carrier is seeking offers for more 400-seat Boeing 777X, the industry’s largest current model, or for the slightly smaller Airbus A350-1000, they said. Talks are at an early stage, but could include options for dozens more jets.<\/p>\n SIA said it regularly reviews fleet renewal plans and declined to comment on “any confidential discussions that we may or may not be having”. Airbus and Boeing declined to comment.<\/p>\n SIA is one of the largest buyers of long-haul jets, with a reputation for meticulous and closely held aircraft negotiations that can influence fleet decisions worldwide.<\/p>\n It said last month it would continue to expand capacity even as some rivals cut flights \u200cdue to higher oil prices.<\/p>\n The airline is a longstanding operator of the Boeing 777 mini-jumbo and was an early customer for the 777X successor, which has run into significant delays.<\/p>\n The Singapore <\/span>talks could also help manufacturers, notably Airbus, gauge demand for larger aircraft variants still on the drawing board, the sources said.<\/p>\n Airbus said last year it was considering a larger A350 model, dubbed the A350-2000, to compete more directly with the 777X, though it has played down reports of an imminent project.<\/p>\n It first floated the idea during an earlier SIA contest 10 years ago, at a time when Boeing was considering its own 777X expansion.<\/p>\n Boeing agreed to revisit studies for a larger plane after Emirates ordered more 777X last November, but is said to be cautious given limited demand for a new jumbo and its focus on industrial recovery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n PARIS: Singapore Airlines (SIA) is in talks with Airbus and Boeing to buy at least 50 of the industry’s biggest jets, as it plans a…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":58188,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dam.mediacorp.sg\/image\/upload\/s--1LBa6Jrv--\/c_crop,h_449,w_799,x_1,y_46\/c_fill,g_auto,h_676,w_1200\/fl_relative,g_south_east,l_mediacorp:cna:watermark:2024-04:reuters_1,w_0.1\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1\/one-cms\/core\/2026-06-04T105140Z_2_LYNXMPEM530Q7_RTROPTP_3_SINGAPORE-AIR-FLIGHTS-AIR-NEW-ZEALAND.JPG?itok=Bxk3urhS","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[8587,15123,1406,109,22,11668,7049],"class_list":["post-58187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-news-sg-global","tag-airlines","tag-jet","tag-major","tag-order","tag-singapore","tag-sources","tag-talks","wpcat-2-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=58187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58187\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/58188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=58187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=58187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=58187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}LARGER VARIANTS<\/h2>\n
