Singapore Airlines says it will consider Boeing's new 7E7 plan
when it next expands its fleet.
CEO Chew Choon Seng told Bloomberg News that if the 7E7's
efficiency is as good as Boeing claims, then SIA would look at it
with great interest.
These are reassuring words for Boeing, which was overtaken by
European rival Airbus last year as the world's biggest maker of
commercial aircraft.
The 7E7 is advertised as using 20 per cent less fuel per seat than
current models and will be able to carry up to 300 passengers. -
