Singapore Airlines is due to take delivery of its
first 787-10 in the first half of 2018 and will be operated on the

Singapore Airlines is the launch customer of the
787-10 and currently has 30 airplanes on firm order.

additional 787-10s.
"Boeing is excited to have finished final
assembly of the first 787-10 Dreamliner for Singapore Airlines,"
said
Dinesh Keskar, senior vice president, Asia Pacific & India

efficiency, greater capacity and the Dreamliner's known preferred
passenger experience, the 787-10 will be an important part of the
airline's future fleet."
The 787-10 is 18-foot (5.5 metres) longer than the 787-9.
