I see so does this mean SKZ could get delivered before SKY?

Unlikely. MSN253 (F-WWAB/9V-SKY) is already fully painted. (as of February 2018)

Both the frames are in Hamburg-XFW at the moment.

Some said it is under re-configuration to new product

Could be possible. I definitely don't think we should assume the older set will be refitted first. The new layout compared with the all upper-J layout only loses a couple of seats in J but gains a huge number of Y seats, all of which represent extra revenue in peak periods. Economically it might make sense to do SKL-T first, but the other major factor is coinciding the refit with already scheduled overhauls.

What has happened to SKM? Been out of service for more than 3 months...very unusual.

I thought they were going to start flying to PVG in June? But I was just looking at flights to PVG end of June on EF, but doesn't seem like they have loaded the new seatmaps yet?

Starts 3-weekly in Aug on days 2,5,7 then daily in Sep

One can hope the JFK to sing gets a trial run. I am booked both in may and Oct for this route!!

It will be difficult unless there are less than 6 F paxes That particular day for both SQ25/26.

9V-SKC is currently headed out on an air-test as SQ8898.

9V-SKE has not flown since arriving from HKG as SQ861 on 23APR18.

I saw that on FR24 yesterday, the crew must have been pretty dizzy from flying round in circles for 4 hours(!)

9V-SKC is currently headed out on an air-test as SQ8898.

9V-SKC (to be re-registered 9H-MIP) will also be joining the HiFly fleet along with former 9V-SKA and 9V-SKB.

thanks for your quick reply.

than FR24 has wrong Information.

The data used to indicate planned flights is likely unreliable. Once a flight takes off it is much more accurate. FR24 had some significant problems a week or so ago with a lot of missing information, I noticed.

[A380-SQ]

Nope, SQ26 tonight is planned to be operated by 9V-SKL.
