Singapore Airlines Limited is the flag carrier of Singapore with its hub located at Changi Airport. The airline flies a diverse fleet of 160 Airbus and Boeing passenger and freighter aircraft. Historically, it was the launch customer for the Airbus A380—the world's largest passenger aircraft—and the Boeing 787-10, as well as the first operator of the ultra-long-range version of the Airbus A350-900. The airline has been a member of Star Alliance since April 2000, and ranks amongst the top 15 carriers worldwide in terms of revenue passenger kilometres and international passengers carried.2

How it started

History

Singapore Airlines traces its corporate origins to the 1947 incorporation of Malayan Airways, which operated its inaugural commercial flight connecting Kallang Airport with Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh and Penang. Following the separation of Singapore from Malaysia, the carrier was restructured as Malaysia–Singapore Airlines (MSA) in 1966. Strategic differences later led to an asset division, resulting in the official 1972 launch of Singapore Airlines as an independent entity.

The airline retained the international route network out of Singapore International Airport at Paya Lebar and the sarong kebaya uniform for its cabin crew designed by Pierre Balmain, marketed as the "Singapore Girl". Under its early leadership, the airline rapidly built a premium global reputation, later becoming the launch customer for the Airbus A380 in 2007 and spearheading some of the world's longest non-stop commercial flights from Changi Airport to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City.
