Singapore Airlines is the national airline of Singapore. The airline flies to 90 destinations around the world and has a major presence in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and East Asia. Singapore Airlines is one of the only four airlines in the world to receive a 5-star rating by Skytrax. The airline operates two of the world’s longest non-stop commercial flights to Los Angeles and Newark respectively.
The origins of the airline can be traced to May 1, 1947 when an Airspeed Consul landed at a tiny airstrip in Kallang, Singapore. The airline was then known as Malayan Airways. Over the next 20 year the airline gradually expanded and in 1966, a year after Singapore became independent, the airline was renamed as Malaysia-Singapore Airlines. In 1972, Malaysia-Singapore Airlines separated into two new airlines - Malaysia Airline and Singapore Airline. This separation resulted in rapid modernization of Singapore Airlines.
Singapore Airline has several achievements to its credit. It was the first airline to offer global sky telephone service. Singapore Airlines ranks amongst the top 15 airline carriers worldwide in terms of revenue passenger kilometres according to Air Transport World. In 2006, Singapore Airlines will become the first airline to operate the world's largest aircraft, the Airbus A380.
Singapore Airlines has one of the most modern and youngest fleets in the world. The fleet consists of B747-400, B777-300, B777-200, B777-200ER, A340-500, B777-300ER, and A380-800 aircrafts.
