Singapore Airlines recently took delivery of its first 787-10 Dreamliner post-pandemic. The brand-new aircraft took off from Boeing facilities in Charleston to the airline's hub at Singapore Changi Airport. This is the 16th aircraft in SIA fleet, but the first delivery post pandemic. The last 787 delivered to Singapore Airlines prior to this was in November 2019.
Boeing conducted six test flights prior to delivery flight with a logged test-flight time of 10 hours and 28 minutes.
Singapore Airlines first ordered the 787-10 in 2013 and was the launch customer of the 787-Dreamliner variant. The airline expects to have a total of 23 787-10s in its fleet, with eight undelivered aircraft.
In addition to the undelivered 787-10s, Singapore Airlines is also expecting more passenger A350-900s for its fleet along with A350F for its cargo division. The airline is also planning to add 21 more 737 MAX 8s and 31 777-9s in coming months.
