Silk Air - 25-hour Flight Simulator

Silk Air - 25-hour Flight Simulator

Marking its 25th year anniversary celebrations, Singapore Airlines’s regional subsidiary SilkAir has just took delivery of the first of its new fleet of 54 Boeing 737’s in early February 2014. In a bid to win over consumers and involve them in SilkAir’s historic Boeing delivery, the airline will bring fans and aviation followers together to ‘virtually deliver ’ the new aircraft to Singapore in a 25- hour flight simulator event.

Called ‘Bringing Boeing Home with SilkAir ’ the event will allow up to 150 selected members of the public to fly a simulated ‘SilkAir’ Boeing 737-800 plane that will track the actual delivery route from the Boeing Renton factory in Seattle to Singapore’s Changi Airport via Honolulu, Majuro and Guam.

The participants (and their partners) will take off, fly a scenic circuit around one of the four destinations the aircraft will land at en-route, and then land at the same airport again. The experience and destination depends on the time slot chosen - timed to coincide with the realworld flight.

The virtual delivery event will take place overnight on the 7th and 8th of February 2014 at Flight Experience Singapore which is located in the heart of Singapore.
