Also on topic is the SQ return to BRU after such a very long time. SQ304 left SIN last Friday night with 9V-SJF doing the honours.

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.
