Singapore Airlines has ordered eight Boeing 777-300 Extended Range (ER) airplanes.
The Singapore Airlines order is valued at $2.4 billion at Boeing current list prices.
The order was first announced on 10 August 2011 but attributed on Boeing's Orders Deliveries website to an unidentified customer.
In total, Singapore Airlines has ordered 85 Boeing 777s, 27 of which are 777-300ERs.
"This order is part of our ongoing fleet expansion and modernization program, which enables us to offer our latest cabin products to our customers," said Goh Choon Phong, chief executive officer for Singapore Airlines (SIA).
"The additional 777-300ERs will also help us further strengthen the Singapore Airlines network, providing our customers even more travel options."
SIA currently operates nearly every 777 model produced, including the 777-200, 777-200ER, 777-300 and 777-300ER.
