Singapore Airlines will take delivery of its first Airbus A350-900 in January 2016 with Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and Amsterdam chosen as first routes for the next-generation jet. The Star Alliance member and Virgin Australia partner revealed its plans for the A350 during a media briefing at Airbus headquarters in Toulouse, France. Inaugural A350 commercial services will make short hops from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta for the purposes of crew familiarisation with the all-new aircraft through to April, before spreading its wings onto the 13 hour Singapore-Amsterdam route. http://www.ausbt.com.au/singapore-airlines-to-fly-airbus-a350-to-amsterdam-kuala-lumpur-jakarta
Press release van SQ: http://www.singaporeair.com/jsp/cms/en_UK/press_release_news/ne2315-151012.jsp Niet geheel onverwacht. Ze riepen al een jaren dat Amsterdam een van hun eerste bestemmingen zou worden. Maakt niet uit welke dag het is, ik ben van de partij op de inauguratie vlucht.
