As per SQ app, SQ406 will be delay until 0730am ETD. Should be waiting for next available plane from SQ25.
Seem like SKF is down for some urgent issue.

That’s interesting. Am on board SQ285 typing this and during the delay whilst on the ground in SIN, the Captain came on and explained the delay was due to some duplicate seats caused by the aircraft change from a V1 to a V2 A380...

And despite a 1 hour 41 mins delay in departure, our ETA in AKL is 13:39 (STA is 13:20), only a 19 min delay. Must be strong tailwind en-route - flying time is only expected to be 8 hr 45 mins

Must have been a rough 2 days for SQ ground staff...
seems like quite a few A380s are down - SKF, SKM SKN...and of course SKT still isn’t back in service after almost a year. Feels to me that SQ has overcommitted its A380 fleet. They didn’t have enough aircraft for SQ856 and Sq802 today as well!

Not a passenger flight, but SQ7292|28NOV (SIN-SYD) operated by 9V-SFO had an engine-strike during a botched aborted landing.

The B747-400F has since been flown back to SIN.

Tail strike on landing ? Tailstrike is a rare enough event and it usually occurs during take off. But landing ?

The nose must be too high during flaring and landing. However it seems the aircraft may have suffer the tail strike during take-off from SIN. We will have to wait for the investigation and retrieve the blackbox data information which will tell whether it is from landing or take-off.
