WASHINGTON, D.C. (January 18, 2006) - Singapore Airlines has selected Rockwell Collins to provide a comprehensive eFlightTM information management solution that will streamline air-to-ground communications for the airline. eFlight will replace paper-intensive

"By implementing this solution across their fleet, Singapore Airlines is elevating operational efficiency to a new level,"
said Mark Harris, vice president, eFlight for Rockwell Collins. "The eFlight advanced solution that we're delivering to Singapore
Airlines will provide enhanced electronic information between the aircraft and ground operations, which translates into faster
turn times and meaningful cost savings."
"Singapore Airlines has always leveraged the latest technology to optimize efficiency and performance on the flight deck,
as well as on the ground. Rockwell Collins' eFlight information management solution allows us to optimize the performance
of both our technical and ground crew, ultimately benefiting our customers," said Capt. Alan Chan, Singapore Airlines' Chief
Pilot of the Boeing 747 fleet.
Under the terms of the agreement, Rockwell Collins will implement Class 1 Electronic Flight Bags (EFB) on Singapore Airlines'
Boeing 747's, and will work with Boeing to provide applications for Class 3 EFB's on Singapore's Boeing 777 fleet. Rockwell
Collins will also implement the eFlight ground system to support information delivery to Singapore Airlines' fleet and to
their back office systems.
