  • SQ A350 arriving in December 2015 - GRU one of the first to receive A350

    Translated from Spanish using G**gle translate:

    Singapore Airlines A350 will bring for flights from Brazil

    After almost four years of operations in Brazil, Singapore Airlines celebrates the date with a novelty to the Brazilian market: the introduction of the A350 on the route Sao Paulo and Barcelona to Singapore, operated three times a week - the company has 70 aircraft ordered model with Airbus, and the first should arrive in December.

    "Once we have the delivery of five A350, one of them will come to Brazil," said the airline's general manager in the country, TM Wang, during an exclusive interview with PANROTAS Portal in the company's office in Sao Paulo. The aircraft will consist of three seats classes: the business, the economic and the premium economy, which opens in the company from August.

    In Brazil since September, Wang said his main challenge is to ensure that flights are as full as possible. He does not reveal the average rate of occupation, saying only be "more than initially expected."

    The Journal PANROTAS 1158, which runs next week, will interview in which the leader will speak more about the performance of Singapore in Brazil, including the relationship with agencies and operators, responsible for up to 85% of the company's sales in the country.

    Finally, we will see A350 arriving in 2015, 2 months ahead of Cathay Pacific!

    I am surprised that the 5th A350 will go GRU (via BCN), that will free up some B77Ws for sure to replace B772 and B773s hopefully.

    I still hope Sydney will become the 1st destination for SQ's A350, in particular they should consider switching SQ212 and SQ242 to A350 as a priority.

    Anyway, it is worth to note there is no first class available perhaps on the first batch of A350s according to the report. Very interesting.

    2 months ahead of CX but according to A350 production lists online CX's A350 orders are filled more quickly as their deliveries are less spread out than SQ's.

    Anyway, it's good to finally have some indication that the A350s will be arriving end of 2015, hopefully we will here an official press release from SQ soon regarding EIS date and first routes.

      Cool hope to fly an inaugural on the A350.

      Wonder which destination will be the first flight?

        The reason of using A350 to fly Sao Paulo may be very very low yield of full F class fare revenue obtained in this route.

          Is there the possibility that SQ will use the A350 to Milan?
