MXP has on various occasions had extra terminator services performed by 772ER refits or even old 9V-SVF. With AKL, I thought the only announcement so far was that it would occur only on "selected days". I've not heard of any definite plans to discontinue F to AKL on any permanent basis. In peak seasons the 359 wouldn't have sufficient capacity anyway.

However, according to SQ website, PE is not available from MXP for the time being (also after the date of closure of First Class reservation).

Originally posted by SQfanatic View PostNot surprising at all. It was expected because when they said F was not going to be sold on this route we had enough assumptions that the A359 will be taking over given that it does not have F at all. Probably explains why they stopped refits of the 77Ws. It sounds to me the A359 aircraft are replacing mostly the 777-200 which don't even have First Class. Hope the next on the list will be FCO or CPH which are both served by the 772. The 77WR routes that have 4 F should stay 77WR if there is sufficiently enough F demand (e.g. SFO/ICN, FRA, AKL, DXB). BCN/GRU and MXP could benefit from a 77WR.

After announcing they would serve JNB with a 77W with a closed off F cabin from a similar date, this announcement means they will now need four A359 in service by mid-July and have to hope that none of them ever have a technical problem on any other day than a Wednesday.
Effectively one pair will serve AMS daily in rotation, the third allocated to 3x JNB and the fourth to 3x DUS. Perhaps a CPH deployment is less attractive due to the uneven spread of days.
