Singapore Airlines has taken delivery of its first Airbus A330-300. The aircraft was handed over by Airbus at a delivery ceremony in Toulouse, France, yesterday. It is one of 19 new Rolls-Royce Trent 700-powered A330-300s that the airline will be leasing to tie them over until the purchased Airbus A350s arrive in the coming years.  The aircraft will be used to replace older Boeing 777s on regional and medium-haul routes, such as those between Singapore and Australia and Japan.
