Talking to someone from the company today and he commented that SQ has relatively poor luck with Airbus,could be a Feng Shui incompatibility.
His observations:
A340-300 : Perfomance deviation,they have the shortest lifespan in SQ history.
They exist as fast as they enter service.
A340-500 : The only available product available then for them to take a chance on ULR,which caused huge losses and had to cut the route. Rumoured to have incurred a huge loss for the disposal of these birds.
A380-800 : Delivery delay leading to a huge bird with high operating cost struggling against the more efficient B77W,it was a fleet type that was never profitable since it entered operations.
A350-900 : Biggest order of AB for SQ and after 70% of deliveries, the Coronavirus stuck, resulting in the most critical crisis in the company’s history and fighting for financial survival.
Interesting observation,no offence to any Airbus or Boeing fans please!
