The SQ A380 is back!

[sbs2716g]

SQ sent an A380 to LAX on 3/13/21 as a charter flight. Glad to see her back in the city of Angels! https://www.instagram.com/reel/CbDrD...dium=copy_link

Actually they send 2xA380 n 2xA350. Now on the way back to SIN

They flew SIN-LAX-BCN-SIN.
MainlyMiles has more details I believe

They flew SIN-LAX-BCN-SIN.
MainlyMiles has more details I believe

9V-SMV (A350 LH)
9V-SMW (A350 LH)
9V-SKU (A380)
9V-SKV (A380)

were the aircraft involved, routing SIN-LAX-BCN-SIN.

I was told this was a charter taking professional gamers from Los Angeles to an e-sports event in Barcelona.

Given how much this must have cost, I am clearly in the wrong job!

I wonder if there'll be a return SIN-BCN-LAX-SIN

Would you also know how the crewing was like for SIN-LAX-BCN-SIN? The crew all on-board for all 3 sectors?

Amazing charter operation - never seen anything like this!

9V-SKP has finally left storage and arrived into SYD this evening from ASP. I am assuming this is for a gear swing at the hangars here in SYD before it goes back home to commence its retrofit - the last of the 12x A380s to be retrofitted (assuming SKQ is nearly done now).

9V-SKP left Sydney a few hours ago and on the way to SIN. Great news and considering how full flights are at the moment, very much needed!

I may have missed something but I remember reading (from the SQ Fleet thread in this forum) that SKP was one of the 7 A380 that SQ intended to remove from the fleet (in place of SKL), and a few of us wondered why at the time. But it looks like now SKP will be retained and SKL removed instead…?

Yes. SKP will be retained and SKL removed.

[wlgspotter]

Yes. SKP will be retained and SKL removed.

Thanks for the confirmation…

Not back to Zurich anymore it seems.
