History of Singapore Airlines

Singapore Airlines was founded on the 12th of October, 1937 under Malayan Airlines. It was a by product of the union of three companies, the Ocean Steamship Company of Liverpool, the Straits Steamship Company of Singapore, and Imperial Airways. The first flight took off from the British Straights Settlement to Kuala Lumpur in April of 1947. This began a weekly scheduled flight. In the 1940s and 1950s the airline continued to expand. In 1957 the airline went from just providing charter flights to providing commercial scheduling.

When Singapore and Malaysia experienced political disagreements in 1972, the airline split, creating two separate airlines, Singapore Airlines and Malaysian Airlines System. The flight attendants were suited up in sarongs and called Singapore Girls. In the 1970s SIA added destination cities in the Indian subcontinent and Asia. Later in the 1980s the USA and Canada were added to the network of flights. Madrid became the first Hispanic city to be served by Singapore Airlines. The route from Singapore to Los Angeles, USA began in 2004; it was the first non-stop flight connecting the two countries.
