Silkair purchase of 54 B737s

Recently, on the 3rd of August, Silkair, the regional wing of Singapore airlines has announced the purchase of 23 B738s and 31 B737 MAX.
I was excited to hear this piece of news.
For those who don't know much about Silkair, It operates mainly A320s on Singapore to China, India, SE Asia routes. It is a full-service airline, and currently flies to 41 destinations across 12 countries

Why was i excited?
When i flew Silkair, I couldn't help but feel that it is actually sort of a Junkyard for the non-profitable Singapore airline routes. Well. It has much more potential than that!!! The cabin environment and the service is unique. Also it serves destinations that have a lot of history and has a rich culture such as Yunnan, China for example.

Lijiang- Yunnan, China

With the addition of B737s to its fleet, There will be an increase in not only route frequency, But also The number of destinations. For example, I frequently complain about the lack of service to the 2nd and 3rd tier China cities. Most often, I find myself taking a SIA plane to Guangzhou, Shanghai or Hong Kong and transfer to one of the many China airlines around to get to my final destination.
Therefore, i hope to see more destinations being added into the network
