The airline has ordered 7 of these airplanes with the first one arriving in September and the rest 6 by end of this year.<\/li>\n<li>This aircraft is configured to carry 161 passengers with 67 seats in Business Class and 94 seats in Premium Economy.

The airline has said that they have plans of flying non-stop from Singapore to Los Angeles using the same airplane.<\/p>\n<p>This decision will help Singapore Airlines fetch more revenue, since long-haul flights often make more cash than flights with more than one stop and make a mark in the highly competitive international aviation market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singapore Airlines announced this week that they will relaunch the world\u2019s longest flight, from Singapore to New York, in October.
