A350 Deliveries and Routes

[SQfanatic]

If she is delivered today (30 November), she will still make it as a November delivery. Airbus is clearing the November deliveries very efficiently. 3 frames were delivered on 29 Nov to Delta, Malaysia Airlines and Hong Kong Airlines. 9V-SMS is the only Delivery-ready A359 still at the Delivery Centre. If all paper work is cleared today, she should depart Toulouse this evening.
9V-SMT is still waiting to make her First Flight and could just make it as the last delivery of 2017.

Makes sense, I said almost, but it didn't slip into the December delivery. But even then great to know both SMS and SMT will be delivered before the end of 2017.

It's almost like MAN Flyer knows these things...

9V-SMS has landed at Changi bringing the SQ A359 fleet to 19.

9V-SMT will be next to be delivered at the end of December. She has just had her first engine run with her First Flight to take place sometime next week.

9V-SMU is currently undergoing cabin fitting.

In 2018, I hope we know what config SMU has, because my guess is still longhaul and that regional config will begin with another series

9V-SMT has performed her First Flight. She is scheduled for Delivery at the end of December.

Looks like there is not premium economy in for the regional 350s.

To preempt the questions that usually come up, this confirms that there will be a regional 350 but there is no information to indicate if SQ#21 will be regional or long haul!

Has always been plans for a regional A359 variant but SQ still not releasing specific detail on when the first of those will arrive... they play their cards very close to their chest!

I think PY is very useful on red-eye flights between 6-7.5 hrs. But I can understand SQ's desire to load the plane up and that the premium a pax is willing pay for PY on a regional flight may not be sufficiently high enough for the airline to have it.

Hopefully they'll fix the booking system to allow mixing classes as otherwise this will continue to restrict the ability to book PEY when one segment doesn't offer it. The plus side is that we will continue to be able to redeem upgrade to J from Y on regional flights.

9V-SMT completed her CAF yesterday. Delivery before Christmas appears to be very likely.
