treat. The Airline will be celebrating 40 years of direct services between Singapore

destinations in Asia, Australia, Europe and North America. Currently, Singapore
Airlines has 17 A380s in service and a further two on firm order.

over the last 40 years of operations between Singapore and Osaka. The special
A380 services symbolise our appreciation, and we are delighted to offer our
customers the opportunity to experience some of our latest products on board the
superjumbo,” said Regional Vice President North Asia, Mr Lim Wee Kok.
