A350 Deliveries and Routes

[SQfanatic]

It looks like according to ExpertFlyer, SQ12/11 are going A350 from 19Jan to 31Jan inclusive, and they operate 4 days a week.

Similarly, I am seeing SQ26/25 (FRA/JFK), which is typically operated by a 77W also switched to an A359 from 17Jan to 30Jan inclusive.

I wonder why the sudden change from the 77W...Could it be due to lack of F demand, which is why SQ8/7 was initially switched the same way?

On another part, the fifth freedom routes are usually operated by the older A359 whereas the nonstop routes that have Y class are operated by the later A359 (SMV-SJE)

Anyone know how many more regional A359 are to be delivered? I don’t see 9V-SHY on any Google searches.

And anyone know anything on 9V-SJC and 9V-SJD? Those probably would be later MSN’s but just wondering if anyone knows.

Without access to SQ flight operation internal information, we will only know which version is coming upon handover by Airbus. Current production lists have not been updated I guess due to long Christmas and New Year holiday.

Thus far only MSN494 is recently spotted in green primer colour without engines. (#59)

Local spotters have not seen any of the rest MSNs. Guess they maybe further delayed due to recent SQ orderbook restructuring. Need to wait till March '22 to know how many they are planning to take in FY 22/23.
MSN514 A350-941 F-W 9V- (#60)
MSN525 A350-941 F-W 9V- (#61)
MSN564 A350-941 F-W 9V- (#62)
MSN568 A350-941 F-W 9V- (#63)
MSN593 A350-941 F-W 9V- (#64)

One more MSN to be determined, concluding an order for 65 airframes.

Two additional airframes are pending conversion to A350F.

I don’t remember any EWR resumption announcement.

Now confirmed by SIA from 27th March. 3x daily total operation to and from New York.

On 4 Jan 2022, EASA TCDS for the A350 showed a 283T A359 Weight Variant.

Could 9V-SJE be a 283T A359?

[MainlyMiles]

9V-SHW will be delivered on 7th January 2022, arriving into Changi at 18:00 as SQ8896.

9V-SHW has completed her CAF. Delivery could take place as early as this weekend.

9V-SJE has landed at Changi at 9.15am bringing the SQ A350 fleet to 57.

Another 8 more A350s to come likely by 2022.

Interesting that 9V-SJE is the first A350 to have every single window frame painted white, even in the positions where it is plugged.

Yea makes it harder to tell the difference between Regional & LH A350s. Maybe something to do with the "new feature" airbus was testing?
