Singapore Airlines Says Boeing 777-9 Delay Will Not Cause Major Problems

Post by : Sameer Saifi

Singapore Airlines has said that the delay in the delivery of Boeing’s new 777-9 aircraft will not cause big issues for the company. The airline’s CEO, Goh Choon Phong, spoke about this on Friday during a briefing on the company’s first-half results.

Goh explained that Singapore Airlines always keeps “flexibility” in its fleet plans. This means the airline prepares for changes, delays, or unexpected problems in aircraft delivery. Because of this planning, the delay will not seriously affect their operations.

Last month, Boeing pushed the first delivery of the long-delayed 777X program to 2027, adding more waiting time for airlines that ordered the aircraft.

Goh did not share details about any compensation talks between Boeing and Singapore Airlines. But he hinted that the airline, being one of the world’s leading carriers, may receive some special priority in future aircraft deliveries.

The airline also reported that its profit for the first half of the year fell by 68%. This drop was caused by losses from its Indian partner Air India, higher operating costs, and strong competition in the market.

Even with these challenges, Singapore Airlines said it remains stable and prepared to manage fleet delays without major disruptions.
