About Singapore Airlines
Singapore Airlines (SIA)' history can be traced back to May 1947, when Malayan Airways operated its first commercial flight linking Singapore with Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh and Penang. The airline was later renamed Malaysian Airways (1963) and Malaysia-Singapore Airlines (1967), which was split in two in 1972, creating Malaysian Airline System (since renamed Malaysia Airlines) and SIA. Over a period of more than half a century, SIA has earned a reputation as an innovative market leader, combining a quality product with excellent service.[1] The 1980s brought a number of firsts. The Singapore Airlines fleet continued to grow, in impressive and historic ways. It had the first A300 Superbus, the B747-300 Big Top, the B757 and the A310-200. We were also the first airline in the world to operate an international commercial flight across the Pacific Ocean with the 747-400 Megatop.[2] In the 1990s, Singapore Airlines revolutionized inflight communications and entertainment through the KrisFone - the first global sky telephone service - and KrisWorld offerings. At the same time, we sought to further improve our unparalleled fleet, placing a US$10.3-billion order for 22 B747-400s and 30 A340-300s in 1994, a US$12.7-billion order for 77 B777s in 1995, and a US$2.2-billion order for 10 A340-500s in 1998. The company was also first to involve a comprehensive panel of world-renowned chefs, the International Culinary Panel, in developing inflight meals in 1998.[3] In 2000, the Airline placed 19 A380s on firm order and a US$4 billion order for 20 more B777-200s in 2001. In 2004, Singapore Airlines was the first to operate the world’s longest non-stop commercial flight between Singapore and Los Angeles in February on the A340-500, and then surpassing the record (in terms of distance) later that year with the non-stop service to New York (Newark) in June. The A380, the world's largest commercial plane entered service with Singapore Airlines on 25 October 2007, making it another world’s first.[4]
