[sbs2716g]

On Friday, SQ863 (a380) flight from Hk was delayed for 5 hours

[9V-SPL]

SQ974|10JUN (SIN-BKK) operated by 9V-SRL was delayed in departure by 1.5 hours because the air-conditioning was not working.

SQ424|04JUN (SIN-BOM) operated by 9V-SKK is currently ATB to SIN. Apparently due technical. Not sure how far over the Bay of Bengal she made it before returning.

Current ETA back to SIN is at 0104 LT. Arrival gate: A2.

A replacement aircraft, 9V-SKF (ex-SQ807) is scheduled to depart at 0215 from gate A4 as SQ424D.

SQ949 arrival from DPS is re-timed from 0020 to 0200. The outbound SQ948 was delayed by over 2 hours, hence the delay on the return as well. Operating by 9V-STZ.

Another A350 delay. SMH delayed over an hour tonight out of MEL even though it arrived into MEL 20 min. early. Estimated to get into SIN 75 minutes late with a lot of critical onward connections.

A few departures out of SIN have been re-timed tonight. I guess to accommodate passengers on these 2 flights;

SQ306
SIN-LHR
STD: 0110 (Re-timed: 0200)

SQ826
SIN-PVG
STD: 0115 (Re-timed: 0230)

SQ346
SIN-ZRH
STD: 0125 (Re-timed: 0230)

SQ392
SIN-IST
STD: 0145 (Re-timed: 0200)

SQ478
SIN-JNB
STD: 0210 (Re-timed: 0230)

[SQ228]

Another A350 delay. SMH delayed over an hour tonight out of MEL even though it arrived into MEL 20 min. early. Estimated to get into SIN 75 minutes late with a lot of critical onward connections.

SQ351 was delayed for three hours on May 28th, does anyone know why?

It was due to either hydraulic or fuel leak.

[9V-SPL]

SQ421|01JUN (BOM-SIN) operated by 9V-SQL was cancelled and the aircraft flew back to SIN today (02JUN) as SQ8861, landing at 1309LT.

[SQ228]

SQ351 was delayed for three hours on May 28th, does anyone know why?

My assumption is tech fault. SVC has not long returned to flying after a long maintenance and this occurred very soon after. The airport was functioning normally at the time. After returning, SVC didn't fly again for a couple of days.

It's very strange to hear the A350 and A380 (Longhaul Airbus planes) are having issues. My father is flying the 350 both ways in late Sep/early Oct on SQ31/32 and while he's connecting to the DEL flight 7 hours late (2AM), it would be upsetting to put up with a delay from SFO.

[SQ228]

SQ218 is arriving into SIN late due to disruptions at MEL last night when a disturbed passenger attempted to hijack an MH flight shortly after take off with a power bank. He was subdued by passengers but it shut down the runway for a few hours apparently, as the flight had to turn around and land.

[9V-SPL]

A lot of the flights are departing/departed with delays tonight due to the weather.

[9V-SPL]

SQ is definitely not having a good run with their A350s.

SQ 51 MAN-IAH-SIN for 02 and 03 May have been cancelled. Was scheduled to be operated by 9V SMH.

9V-SMH is now en-route IAH-MAN-SIN as SQ9051.



Estimated to arrive in Singapore at 0900 on Friday (05MAY17) at present.

[SQ228]

Does anyone know if QR or CX have had similar difficulties?

Unlike the Dreamliner when it first started flying, I haven't heard anything negative in the press about the A350, but it usually has to be something with alarming photos for the press to be interested, like a fried battery inside the cabin...

SQ 51 MAN-IAH-SIN for 02 and 03 May have been cancelled. Was scheduled to be operated by 9V SMH.

I think it is delayed by 18 hours rather than canceled. But might as well be!
