'A great way to fly’
Singapore Airlines, which is celebrating the end of its first decade in New Zealand, has earned a proud reputation for service and safety in the increasingly competitive world of international aviation. A multiple recipient of travel industry awards for “best in-flight service,” the ' airline has unashamedly projected as its image to the world the charm and beauty of its hostesses. Indeed, the airline’s theme for its radio 'and television commercials - (“Singapore Girl, You’re a Great Way to Fly proved so popular that the version by the pop group, The Carpenters, was pressed on a special 45 r.p.m. record. New Zealanders have a chance of flying with the Singapore girls twice a week out of Auckland. The airline is using DClOs at present, but is negotiatingwith Air New Zealand for permission to upgrade the service to 7475. Singapore Airlines has increased its fleet of 747 s to 11 which are now the mainstay of its extensive network of routes from Singapore across Europe and, eastwards, over the Pacific to the United States. The airline is enjoying one of the strongest growth-rates of any airline in the world. — Travel Editor.
