Singapore :Singapore Airlines will be displaying one of three remaining Boeing 747-400s at the upcoming Singapore Airshow 2012 from Feb 17 -19, marking the launch of a series of events to commemorate the retirement of its B747 fleet after nearly 40 years of service.
Aircraft ‘9V-SPQ’, which was the last B747-400 delivered to SIA in 2001, will be onstatic display. The B747 was the flagship aircraft in SIA’s fleet for nearly four decades, serving us through much of our history, and it is only fitting that we mark its retirement in
a special way,” said SIA’s Executive Vice President Commercial, Mr Mak Swee Wah.
“The Airshow is an ideal venue for us to begin the countdown to the B747’s retirement, by involving the community and demonstrating how the aircraft has benefited SIA over the years.”
