Originally posted by Tonitan View PostJust spoke to someone on condition of anonymity in the company,the aggressive orders are in part in tandem with SQ's strategy to focus on both the Indian and Australia Sub-continent. SQ wants to protect this niche market by covering all cities and providing seamless connections to key destinations worldwide. Makes sense now that I have been "enlightened". In both India and Australia,there is a lack of a local premium carrier capable of providing such connections and SQ's main competition which is the ME3 are ramping up their fleet and SQ cannot slack behind. So better planes and the most cutting edge products to fight the competition. So looking forward to the new arrivals!
In China we have seen a similar development, SQ focuses on the three (four) biggest cities with premium demand, but pushes the expansion to Silkair and Scoot.
With that background i see some of the 787s ending up with Scoot.

If there was to be an escalation of trade tensions between the US and China, I wonder if China would start trying to apply muscle to those in the region that are buying US products, in response to sanctions that President Trump seems likely to bring against China.
I wouldn't be surprised if China's response is to just build copies of 737s and remind him that they don't need him as much as they used to.

Originally posted by SQA350 View PostIs anyone able to confirm the "Regional" seating configurations for the A350 and B787-10?
Very unlikely to see S in the regional fleet though.

Originally posted by FSJZ View PostThe A350 regional configuration will mostly likely follow the A330, that is J and Y. The 787-10 might have F as well, like the 773, for regional routes with premium demand.
Very unlikely to see S in the regional fleet though.
Also, will the regional J layout on the A350 be 2-2-2, or would it be 1-2-1 like on the present fleet?
