A350 Deliveries and Routes

[SQKevin]

9V-SJH completed her First Flight on 2 April.

Final two passenger A350 deliveries for SIA this year:

MSN 665 / 9V-SJH / Delivery April 2024
MSN 697 / 9V-SJI / Delivery Q3 2024

That will bring the pax A350 fleet to 65, after which 7 x A350 F deliveries should start, with the first being:

MSN 744 / 9V-? / Delivery Q4 2025

Loving the MSN for the first freighter, given the fleet it is replacing!

I didn't see that one coming! I expected DUS to be resumed before BRU...

Yes that would’ve been my guess too. BRU was previously going to happen but the launch was pulled due to pandemic, so in planning terms I guess it’s also a resumption of sorts. DUS was operating a lot of very full flights back in 2019 though.

SQ is returning to Brussels, for the first time in over 20 years, with SIN-BRU non-stops using the A350LH variant, flying 4 times a week, from April 2024 onwards,

Does anyone know if SQ301/SQ302 (SIN-MAN-SIN) will remain? The press release makes no mention of this.

From 31 March 2024, SIA services on the Singapore-Manchester-Houston route (SQ52 and SQ51) will go to the pre-pandemic level of five-times weekly from the current thrice-weekly. SIA operates the A350-900 long-haul aircraft on this route. I believe Manchester terminator service SQ302/301 will be discontinued as a result.

Read that SIA is returning to some “key routes” from next year onwards whilst also increasing frequencies and upgauging aircraft on some routes. A couple of notable ones mentioned is SIN-CNS vv and SIN-MLE vv to be upgauged to the A350MH from 31st March 2024 onwards.

Thanks for the update. After this, it leaves us with another 3 long haul A359 aircraft (SJH, SJI, SJJ).

With the newer long haul A350's they are getting now, I still wonder if the second nonstop SFO flight will also have Y class seats as during this point of time, Y class is only available on SQ32/31, and with certain destinations we were looking at in India, it becomes harder to get a good fare. At that point, they will have enough long haul A350's for utilization since SFO, LAX, SEA for example only use the newer A350's (SMV-SJ* series).

Only SJH and SJI left to be delivered after SJG.
