Are you sure you're not confusing that with Malaysian airlines? Singapore Airlines has no missing plane from what I know and only one crash in 2000 when a plane entered the wrong runway and struck construction equipment. Besides they have the reputation of being among the best airlines in the world. I once flew with them from Frankfurt to Singapore all the way back in 1998 and it was the best flight I've ever had. Extremely competent and caring crew and a (back then) modern aircraft. I would fly with them in a heartbeat if I still could afford traveling.

At least flying has never been as safe as today. There are twice as many planes in the air than 25 years ago - but there are signficantly less accident nevertheless. On TV some days ago somebody called the present the golden age of flying: safe, common, affordable. From here on it only can get worse again, he said.
