A350 Deliveries and Routes

[MHJ Aviation]

9V-SMD is currently listed as parked on planespotters.net and seemed to have a test flight scheduled on icargo.net on June 1st. Anyone knows what is happening to the aircraft when it was parked? Is it maintanance or something like that?

Just had a family-friend fly SJE on SQ32 back to SFO. Having read a couple of posts ago, I think after SJD, there are 5 more A350 to be delivered (SJF, SJG, SJH, SJI, SJJ).

When is delivery expected for SJD?

9V-SJD is currently performing her CAF so she could be delivered as early as this weekend if all goes well.

As I said the remainder of the A359 deliveries would go up to SJJ. Correct me if I am wrong. That would in the future allow SQ to open up some new nonstop US routes (i.e. Chicago, Philadelphia, maybe Boston or Toronto), but we'll have to wait and see.

My dad is on 9V-SJD flying SQ31, lucky he got a brand new A359.

Can the non-ULR A350s do LAX-SIN on a regular pax load with the headwinds during Northern Winter?
My SQ35 shows scheduled flight time 17h50m and operated with a non-ULR.

The LAX flights appear to be scheduled with the newer non-ULR A359s on a regular basis (SMV-SJE). These A359s would appear to be built to a higher spec (MTOW and other aerodynamic enhancements) and are more capable than the earlier long-haul series (SMA-SMU).

My dad is on his way back to SFO on SQ32 on premium economy and got SJD once again.

I have noticed that SQ34/33 (Evening SFO nonstop flight) that typically used the ULH A359 (SGA-SGE) with all Business & Premium economy are also now using the frames SMV-SJE.

But it seems to only operate 4 times a week (Sun, Mon, Wed, Fri). It’s a sure sign that as we move to the Winter schedule, it might go daily. I am anyway booked on SQ33 in December since I could not switch to SQ31 so just wondering how 17-18 hrs nonstop is gonna do. The most I have done is 16 hrs but even thats too much.
