Singapore Airlines has agreed to order 30 more Airbus A350-900s and 30 Boeing 787-10Xs in deals valued at more than US$17 billion.

The agreement with Airbus comprises 30 firm-ordered A350-900s for delivery from the 2016/17 financial year, plus options for 20 more. The options may be converted into firm orders for larger A350-1000s.

The agreement with Boeing comprises 30 firm-ordered B787-10Xs for delivery from the 2018/19 financial year. It is conditional upon Boeing formally launching the B787-10X programme.

Singapore Airlines signs up for Boeing 787-10X Dreamliner - Flights | hotels | frequent flyer | business class - Australian Business Traveller

My guess is that QF will get some of these and continue to fly without the B777 in its fleet.
