The carrier will purchase 39 aircraft, including 777-9 and 787-10 models. The previously announced deal was signed at a White House event with Singapore's prime minister on Monday.

"Members of the European Union use burgundy, while Caricom states use blue passports," he said.  Caricom , or the Caribbean Community and Common Market, includes 15 Caribbean countries and dependencies.

Developed by international residence and citizenship advisory firm Arton Capital, the Passport Index is a free online interactive tool that sorts and ranks the world's passports by their cross-border access.

For the first time ever an Asian country has the most powerful passport in the world, said Philippe May, managing director of Arton Capital's Singapore office. "Singapore has constantly increased its passport strength since it became independent in 1965," May explai...
