Singapore Airlines Flight Delays & Disruptions

[9V-SPL]

SQ 661 CTS-SIN scheduled to depart on 9 December has been badly delayed for more than 24 hours. I think aircraft went tech or something. 9V-SVF.

Flight has been re-numbered SQ9661. Currently re-timed to arrive in SIN at 2040 tomorrow (11DEC16) on CTS-HKG-SIN routing.

9V-SKJ is finally on her way back from DXB, returning as SQ8861. Currently estimated to arrive in SIN just past midnight local time.

The Straits Times has picked up on the story. Seems like 9V-SKJ suffered engine issues.

Meanwhile, it is 9V-SKH to the rescue as SQ8850 to Dubai.

SQ336|29NOV (SIN-CDG) diverted to DXB. Flight operated by 9V-SKJ.

I had a question about LAX and any cerfews.

Like YYZ, does LAX have a cerfew that does not allow planes to land before 5AM and after 1AM? (At least passenger jets). I know my home base is SFO, but SQ8 consistently arrives on time to ICN but departs 30-50 min late for LAX, even in spite of a 2+ hr transit time. I wonder why that is the case? Is it because they simply don't want to land before 5AM if there's a cerfew? Don't answer Daylight Savings because I know but could there be another reason?

Anecdotally, CX was in this situation when it used to have a 2AM YYZ flight which at the end did not work out as its departure got delayed due to YYZ cerfew for landing.

I think you mean curfew.

[9V-JKL]

The only 1 I know is that all flights bet 0000-0630 has to be over water.

SQ338 (9V-SMB) to Düsseldorf in a holding pattern just after departure from RWY02C.




UPDATE: Whatever the issue was, seems to be resolved. Aircraft is climbing and back on track.

[9V-SPL]

SQ930|11NOV is returning to SIN for some reason.

[FN-GM]

Does that mean there was 3 x SQ 77W on the ground at Manchester at the same time?

[9V-SPL]

9V-SWI is currently en-route to SIN as SQ9051 (SIA51D).

I wonder if it is coming in with a new door with mismatched paint or something?

[FlyingDobber]

Wasn't there a thread a few days ago about how MAN would cope with 2 SQ flights at the same time?!? Clearly not...Perhaps OCS do maintenance too?

[MAN Flyer]

Indeed. Clunked by an OCS truck apparently....
