In September 1972, when Malaysia-Singapore Airlines split into two independent carriers, Singapore Airlines inherited five narrow-body Boeing 737-100s. For several years, the new carrier operated a small fleet of this type. However, from the very start, the airline committed to wide-body aircraft and chose a strategy as a premium long-haul carrier. Regional route development was not part of its plans, and by 1980, all 737-100s had been transferred to American carrier Air Florida.
For the subsequent forty years, Singapore Airlines demonstrated a rare adherence to the "wide-bodies only" philosophy. Regional operations were delegated to subsidiary SilkAir with its fleet of 737-800s and A320s. It seemed the path back to narrow-body aircraft had been rejected forever.
But in May 2021, history took an unexpected turn: SilkAir was absorbed by its parent company. Singapore Airlines suddenly inherited a fleet of fifteen 737s once again: nine Boeing 737-800s and six 737-8 MAXs. Now, five years later, Singapore Airlines operates 20 Boeing 737-8 MAXs on regional routes. The fleet serves 26 destinations and operates approximately every fourth flight for the airline. economics of narrow-body aircraft.
