In total, Singapore Airlines has ordered 85 Boeing 777s, 27 of which are 777-300ERs.

"This order is part of our ongoing fleet expansion and modernization program, which enables us to offer our latest cabin products to our customers," said Goh Choon Phong, chief executive officer for Singapore Airlines (SIA).
