Boeing handed over the newest member of the 787 family—the
787-10—to launch customer Singapore Airlines (SIA) during a ceremony Sunday
evening at its South Carolina production facility. The delivery of 787-10
9V-SCA, celebrated before 3,000 Boeing employees and their guests, SIA and
Rolls-Royce executives, and other dignitaries, follows U.S. FAA type
certification on January 22.
With the delivery, SIA Group

strengthen our operations,” SIA CEO Goh Choon Phong said during the ceremony,
adding the model will serve as a platform for the airline to debut a “new
regional cabin product” that will involve two classes seating 36 in
business class and 301 in economy class. The airline plans to unveil that
product later in the week, he noted. Read More
