[balajih67]

When will the A350s with the regional configuration start being rolled out?

Eagerly waiting for them to replace the a330s

anyone has any idea?

9V-SMO is displaying her Final Registration. Delivery looks like this weekend.

9V-SMP has performed her First Flight.

Confirmed: Munich is the next A350 destination.

LH resuming MUC-SIN in Summer 2018, also with the A359. http://www.sqtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15842

9V-SMO has moved to the Delivery Centre. Delivery could take place next week.

9V-SMP (Msn122, F-WZFC) doing her pre-first flight tests.

[SQKevin]

Only 9V-SMO is scheduled for delivery at the end of this month. 9V-SMP should have her First Flight next week but she is still unpainted. So, she should only be delivered sometime in July.

9V-SMQ is painted and currently undergoing cabin fit. She looks like an August delivery though I wouldn't rule out an end July delivery.

9V-SMR is assembled but is neither painted nor has had her cabin fitted. September or October is probably when she will be delivered.

The rest of the SQ A350s are still unassembled.

Finally some activity for 9V-SMO with her Third Flight yesterday. Hopefully a move to the Delivery Centre will take place shortly.

Anyone have a clue what's up with SMO? A little surprised little to no activity til now asking this. SMN was delivered last month. How many are scheduled for this month and so on?

9V-SMO (F-WZGR) went on her 3rd test flight yesterday (08JUN17).

SQ doesn't seem to be in a hurry to have 9V-SMO delivered. There has been no activity since her Second Flight on 30 May.

Sounds like news to me. I did not know this; not sure how one would imagine being in a 772ER for that long.

Yeah especially given that the A345s only had Exec Y or J. Not sure how the passengers were seated. Probably Y was empty, which would've helped weightsaving.

Happened for a very short period of time when 2 A345s were in MX back in 2006 IIRC.
Nonstop SIN-LAX. Tech stop in TPE on the return.

77E used to sub A345???? That's news to me! Westbound due to the headwinds probably.

These long range aircrafts are causing headwinds to SQ especially the route from North Asia to South Pacific. Typically this route has had Singapore as a transit place but with the myriad of Chinese carriers biting it with aggressive pricing as a direct flight, I am not sure how SQ will be tackling this piece other than reducing price by cost cutting. From the west side, it is UA but SQ is of a lesser headache to tackle them.

SQ is under tremendous pressure to differentiate or cost cutting as the last one standing.
