    if you still gave the type of aircraft to operate, why not put the correct picture? twin-engine engines at distances of 13.000 km?

    1. Sorin Rusi says

      Yes, long and very long distance twin engines. Boeing 787, Airbus A350, Boeing 777… these are twin-engine aircraft approved for long and very long distances.

      From 2018, Singapore Airlines will operate the longest flight in the world with a twin-engine Airbus A350ULR.
