Singapore Airlines (SIA) plans (01-Mar-2010) to commence A330-300 services to Abu Dhabi, Jeddah and Kuwait (the latter two points via Abu Dhabi) as well as Male from 28/29-Mar-2010. From 28-Apr-2010, A330-300s will also be deployed to Fukuoka and Taipei, and from 01-May-2010, the aircraft will serve Colombo. The A330s will replace B777 operations. A330-300 aircraft will also be progressively deployed on other regional and medium-haul routes later this year, as part of SIA's ongoing product enhancement efforts. SIA A330-300s are configured in a two-class layout with 30 Business and 255 Economy seats. SIA currently has nine A330-300s, with another ten scheduled to be delivered by the end of this year. [more]
