SQ is very BIG in the news this year.

Look like 2006 is SIA's best year ever (aside from 2007 when their first A380 [first regis. #9V-SKA] arrives).

Singapore Airlines Signs Letter Of Intent With Rolls-Royce For Trent 800 Engine Total

https://www.singaporeair.com/saa/en_...se/NE_0307.jsp

11 January 2007


Singapore Airlines signed a Letter of Intent today with Rolls-Royce to provide a comprehensive maintenance package for Trent 800 engines on its fleet of 58 Trent-powered Boeing 777 aircraft, under a TotalCare Services Agreement.

Rolls-Royce will provide off-wing maintenance, repair and overhaul of engines, as well as spare engine support. The engines will be repaired and overhauled at Singapore Aero Engine Services Limited (SAESL) - a Joint Venture company, owned by SIA Engineering Company Limited and Rolls-Royce. The agreement builds on the long-standing relationship between Singapore Airlines and Rolls-Royce. Besides already powering 58 Boeing 777s, other models of the Trent family of engines will power the first 10 Airbus A380s (Trent 900), as well as all 19 Airbus A330-300s (Trent 700), which will be delivered from 2009.
