A380 - Master Thread

[9V-SPL]

9V-SKB is out on air-test as SQ8898 currently.

Any idea to where?
LHR?

LHR is a good guess but my guess would also be NRT. It seems to be quite similar to the time we had 77WN delivered back in 2013.

SKV is slated to be arriving late January, and starting service in early February.

Anyway when is SKV expected to arrive?

9V-SKB is currently pinging on FR24. Probably in all-white I suppose.

[SQfanatic]

thanks guys. in that case, anyone knows what's the next likely route for the new a380?

Depending on when the A380's continue to come, I'm still banking on NRT as well, though ExpertFlyer does not convey anything about 6 suites at the moment.

I would say 0%. I would go as far to say that once NYC non-stop starts, that route would go 77WR

I thought of it that way as well; I still believe that when NYC does get the nonstop 359ULR, then 26/25 may go 77WR.

SIN to LHR

Slightly ambivalent in that there is no direct quote on either the route or the aircraft.

According to The Points Guy, SIN-FRA-JFK will remain A380 (https://thepointsguy.com/2017/12/sin...rankfurt-a380/). However, in the article, VP Mak Swee Wah said that SQ is committed to offering FRA-JFK but he did not mention the aircraft. Thus it is highly plausible that The Points Guy misread that as a commitment to offering the A380 on the route.

Anyone knows what are the chances of SQ25/SQ26 getting the new A380 by May next year?

Yeah, I agree with 9V-JKL that you have no chance. That route requires 3 A380s for the long turnaround. Give up any slight hope that it could happen. Sorry!
