PARIS/HONG KONG, June 4 (Reuters) – Singapore Airlines is in discussions with Airbus and Boeing for the purchase of at least 50 of the industry’s biggest jets as it plans the next phase of its growth from next decade, industry sources said.
The Southeastern Asian giant is seeking offers for more 400-seat Boeing 777X, the industry’s largest current model, or for the slightly smaller Airbus A350-1000, they said. Talks are at an early stage but could include options for dozens more jets.
Airbus and Boeing declined comment. Singapore Airlines did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
