A380 - Master Thread

[SQfanatic]

OMG. So I was actually on her last flight!!!

I guess that partially explains why some A380 routes like CDG are being downguaged to a 77WR. I wonder if this will eventually hold for US routes like FRA/JFK unless flights are always full.

I had two friends who took pics of their A380 trip from JFK to FRA and I don't think the A380 is relatively full. Probably it will go 350ULR when it goes nonstop after delivery and maybe a 77WR via FRA. We'll see.

That's fast!

Her last revenue service was SQ317 landing in SIN on 11JUN17.

I thought the deleasing would have happened once some of the A380s would enter revenue service.

IIRC, there will be a gap between deleasing and the new birds coming into service. According to their annual report, SQ expects to retire 4 A380s (SKA being the first), while receiving 2 new ones by end of AY2017/2018.

9V-SKA has been deleased since 12 June and now is in SIAEC hangar.

9V-SKJ has not flown since 11APR17 and should have already been repainted by now.

I see. Thanks again for the heads up.

Only 2 years later they decided to take the 50th livery out, I bet. I remember seeing SKI from my transit hotel while going back in December. It's anyway their 52nd anniversary, coming fast.

Think you're saying they go through heavy maintenance and then get their liveries taken out. Hopefully SKJ will be next, soon.

9V-SKI landed back in SIN today (14JUN17) at 1529 LT in standard livery.

9V-SKI is scheduled to return from Dubai on 14JUN17 as SQ8898 with STA: 1440 LT. Most likely she is in standard livery.

9V-SKJ has not logged any movements for a long time as well.

Is SIA outsourcing their A380 maintenance checks ?

[9V-SPL]

9V-SKI will be flying to DXB today (07MAY17). Departing at 1705 as SQ8898.

I guess she will undergo maintenance there (similar to -SKP at AUH).

Also, I guess that would also mean the end of the SG50 liveries? -SKJ is said to have been repainted already.

Kilo Papa just took off from AUH. Hmmm..... is she flying home, with new decals for its 70th anniversary? ��

ETA is now 2052 LT.

[SQ380]

9V-SKP is scheduled to return from AUH tomorrow (04MAY17) at 1800 LT as SQ8897.
