  • happy birthday singapore

    singapore airlines was the first to receive this airplane and was the first to fly it commercially! i was there when it first landed in changi airport.
    annually changi airport received apprpox 37 million passengers... the 'great' dubai airport currently receives only 18 million passangers a year and is making such a big fuss. the best part is that even with 37 million and still climbing numbers, Changi airport is never crowded like dubai airport, its such a pleasant experience.

    • for now

      Singapore's population is almost 5 times larger than Dubais so naturally they'll have more passengers than Dubai for now. The Emirates airlines is also the biggest carrier of the A380 (eventually) with almost 1/3 of the total orders or about 65 airplanes so these numbers will change very fast. Sorry Singapore!

  • dont be sorry

    dont be sorry for singapore. this is one model which the arab countries are trying to follow closely. an extremely small island state, no natural water supply, no oil money, no everything....the richest country in asia, the most happening place to be. the first F1 night race...imagine if spore has the oil money like the arabs? everything works in spore! do come over and see for yourself. i;ve been to dubai and bahrain...nice place to visit but i doubt its a nice place to stay. bahrain reminds me of singapore 30 years ago. dubai will mature like spore in due time and only God knows when. spore is even smaller than bahrain! singapore airlines is the very few airlines that keeps on making profit every year. they have even converted their regular flights from spore to new york to be 'only business class flights'! i guess there are some things that even money cannot buy....its call great business attitude. cheers mate. ahlan wah sahlan.
