A380 - Master Thread

[9V-SPL]

9V-SKC has emerged from the SIAEC hangars in all-white.

[9V-JKL]

SKW brings the fleet of new planes to 3 which in turn will bring the new products on a daily basis to LHR on 322/317 flight pair and HKG on 856/861 flight pair from May.

Where will this a380 operate.

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

[SQ865]

9V-SKW, the third A380 fitted with the latest cabin products, arrived in SIN on Thursday evening, 12 April.

[9V-SPL]

9V-SKW has departed TLS for the delivery flight to SIN as SQ8898.

Another journalistic error, and this is a massive one!

For LHR to be currently served by the new A380 4x weekly, that would require some kind of time vortex or parallel universe. I'd like an explanation from the writer as to how a plane can take off from SIN over 6 hours before it lands in SIN.

They have edited. They claim they show the days for old configuration instead.

9V-SKW got delay in delivery. Mess up the plan of SQ. I think mainly miles have an articles yesterday.

Just got a seat change notice for SQ317 LHR-SIN in October. So The New Suites is going daily by that time. Not sure when it will start.

Speaking of LHR, SQ306/305 have gone back to their regular 77W rotation and the A380 is back to its usual SQ322/317 rotation.

Besides that, anyone got news about 9V-SKW?

[SQ228]

Doesnt look like its one of SIA's first 2 or 3 A380s as Flighglobal mention as "This includes 399 seats on the main deck with 60 business-class and 12 first-class seats on the upper deck – the configuration used by Singapore Airlines, which started withdrawing its older A380s last year."
this is because the 1st 5 A380s have suites on the main deck and not on the upper deck and the earlier SQ A380 have even EY seats on the upper deck.

I'd say that's just journalistic error.

Hi Fly have confirmed they are to receive a used A380 in mid 2018. They haven't confirmed where it is from but does have the same IFE and seat count as the SQ birds.

Indeed, ex-SQ, with the configuration intact, Suites and all!

Would have thought that SQ would not want another airline using its products. Wonder if there's any licensing by HiFly to use the seats...
