With Singapore government announcing a 14 day quarantine period for all incoming visitors into SG and a ban on travellers from high risk countries, does this ruling effect SQ's cabin crew as well ?
And cargo is currently the only sector in the air industry that actually has a positive demand amongst all this negativity, so any pax aircraft except the A380 could be making trips to haul cargo.

Originally posted by Spaniard View PostCrew are exempted from quarantine or SHN. This doesn't stop them from being banned entry in buildings and businesses with restrictive access policies that don't recognise this exception.

SQ Cargo has 7 747F freighters and they are busy around the clock. As other posters have said, the lack of passenger flights means a huge amount of belly cargo is not being flown so SQ is using some of those passenger aircraft to fly cargo, sometimes with passenger (the few that travel) and even purely with cargo. This goes by demand obviously and decisions are made a few days at a time, also not surprising.
And yes, as MAN Flyer was sharing, there have been quite a number of A380 flights that had double digit passengers on them only with just one or two handful in premium cabins and everyone in Eco having a nice row to themselves. Believe it or not at your own discretion, but SQ would rejoice if they could fill an A380 at 50% load factor these days.

Seem like SQ are still deploying these A380 randomly. Fly one day park one day then fly again. Only SKS been out of action for some time. Plus SKN/SKP Which was out previously.
