Carriers boost long‑haul widebody capacity: Israir's A330 deal pushed to H2 as SIA returns A380 on a key route
Israir will now begin long‑haul operations in the second half of the year after delaying completion of a $74 million purchase for two Airbus A330s (advance payment made; deal expected to close in Q2). Separately, Singapore Airlines has reinstated A380 service on a major long‑haul route following a three‑year gap.
