SIA fails to rule out possibility of deferring A380 deliveries

Singapore Airlines is not ruling out the possibility of deferring some later Airbus A380 deliveries. The carrier, which has received six of 13 A380s it has on firm order, says that while it has no plans to delay four deliveries due this year"we don't discount the possibility of deferring future deliveries as we consider the options for our fleet going forward".SIA said in February that it would "decommission" 17 older 747-400s and 777s in response to the fall in passenger traffic.
