Hopefully, 9V-SME gets scheduled for SQ338 / August 1st, 2016 so that I'll be able to try her out when she operates out as SQ337 / August 2nd, 2016 ex-DUS ✈️
With MAN and MUC parting ways and MUC rumoured/announced (not quite sure!) to be a daily terminator using A359s, that would mean by 30OCT they would need the following number of craft, effectively:
3x for SIN-AMS-SIN-SFO-SIN as a cycle
1x for 3x weekly to DUS
1x for 3x weekly to JNB
2x for daily MUC
Is SMG a possibility by 30OCT or is it more likely that MUC will keep using the 77WR for a while longer?
SMG has been spotted painted in full colours. With this latest update, there is a good possibility of 2 more deliveries by 30 Oct. SMF currently undergoing cabin fitting could roll out by end August making an end September delivery possible. If SMG enters cabin fit in early August, delivery by 30 Oct is a good possibility. Flight testing for SQ A350s has been very smooth, as once the first flight takes place, delivery usually takes place within a month.
So, I managed to fly back to Singapore from Düsseldorf on 9V-SME, her first trip to the German city. The flight was overbooked, and though I had a redemption ticket on Economy, was upgraded through to Business Class. There was bad weather on final approach into Singapore and the aircraft failed to make its initial attempt at landing. 9V-SME had to power-up its engines, increasing speed for the steep climb, circle the airport once more, for a second attempt to land. Pretty exciting morning for me!!

Glad to hear you could fly a fresh brand new plane from DUS.

When is 9V-SMF scheduled for delivery?
SMF has been undergoing cabin fitting since the first half of July. If she emerges at the end of this month onto the flight line, she could be delivered by the end of September or early October.
