How do you all think SQ post Covid-19 will look like? Let's discuss.
I think the following might happen:
Fleet
773s will be retired soon (772s are unlikely to come back from ASP)
A333s will also be gone once the leases are up
Version1 A380s will not be re-configured and will be gone, A380 fleet reduced to 10-12 planes
737 Maxes will just wait out, no hurry to bring them in
Undelivered A359/B78J/B779 will be deferred. 779 possibly pushed out to 2023/24?
No new aircraft orders till 2025cy
Reconfigure a couple of 77Ws to freighters
Routes
No new routes added till 2022
FRA/JFK downgauged to 77W, perhaps there will be a review with LH on their JV on the FRA route
Some of the daily multi-frequencies like HKG/CGK/ICN/TYO will reduce by 30%
More JVs even outside *A
Aircraft allocation will change towards what cargo can carry rather than pax capacity
More charters
Look forward to hear what the rest of you think
