Boeing and Airbus are vying for a coveted spot in the fleet of Singapore Airlines, said to be the longest jet in the world.
The Singapore Airlines wants to have another plane as part of their fleet but the candidate aircraft is no ordinary one because it will be the longest jet of the world.
Two aerospace giants, Boeing and Airbus, are vying to win the ambitious and expensive deal in making the longest jet of the world.
