Singapore Air To Fly First Ex-SilkAir Boeing 737 on March 4
SIA’s three-year “transformation plan” gets a boost from the integration of its SilkAir regional unit.

Singapore Airlines will fly the first Boeing 737-800NG absorbed from the integration of its SilkAir regional unit on its inaugural mission on March 4 on a route to Phuket, Thailand, SIA Group said Thursday. The company noted the date as it reported a $142 million net loss in its fiscal third-quarter 2021 earnings release. SIA announced its intention to integrate SilkAir with the mainline airline in 2018 ahead of a three-year “transformation plan” designed to ensure the group emerges “stronger and fitter” from the Covid-19 crisis.
