Smart
While most airlines cramble for cover and think short term, SIA probably aquired those additional A380īs for rock bottom prices and they clearly have the long term picture.
If the A380 fails to live up to itīs expectations then the losses/risk for SIA will be within limits, but if it really takes off then they got themselfs 9 extra jets for a very good price.
Itīs called a win-win situation!
