A350 Deliveries and Routes

[SQfanatic]

9V-SMU has rolled out onto the Flight Line fully painted and cabin fitted. She is scheduled to be delivered in February as earlier predicted.

Thanks for the update. Hopefully more details on SMU after its delivery and flights.

9V-SMU completed her Rejected Take Off (RTO) yesterday. First Flight could be as early as today.

9V-SMU is now on her first flight

I assume early to mid Feb will be SMU's delivery date.

I know its not SQ's but fantastic info on what happens on an A350 CAF. I would assume SQ's to be similar.

Post-FAL Flight Testing for 9V-SMU has been progressing at an amazing pace. RTO just 4 days after Roll-Out and First Flight after 7 days. The shortest time for a A359 to progress from Roll Out to Delivery was 15 days. SMJ & SML took just 16 days each. So, I won't be surprised if SMU is Delivered on 31 January, which will be 16 days after Roll Out.

Unfortunately, a 31 Jan Delivery is not going to happen as SMU has not seen any activity since her First Flight last Monday. She now looks like an early February Delivery.

Will they be using same seats as the A380 or the same ones as the existing A350s?

Same as SKU J and PY

Same as SKU J and PY

Any hints on numbers?

Same as SKU J and PY

How do you know that for sure? All the 350s in SQ's fleet thus far have the 2013 J, PEY, and Y seats.

If you refer to FN-GN’s Post #1679, he is asking about the seats on the A350 ULR not the A359.

Ah! Understood now
