Scoot Flight Delays & Disruptions
 

Following the incident of TR996/SINTPE 9V-TAU on 24MAR19, the aircraft has been ferried to KUL on 26MAR19 to KUL as TR7008/TPEKUL for retification works by Sepang Engineering (Airbus).

Wow we're doing this already? That's fast I guess.

I wonder why they aren't getting SIAEC to do it - was the bill too high?

likely its because of lower cost and that they have the capacity to do this at the last minute. Scoot have been sending most of its planes ie ex-Tiger to KL for repainting to Scoot colors

Scoot took over an existing maintenance contract TigerAir signed with Sepang Engineering (Airbus). Hence Scoot’s planes are sent to KUL for maintenance.

Isn't it better from a financial standpoint for Scoot's jets to be handled by SIAEC as the money would be flowing within SIA Group rather than outside ?

Logically, I am guessing they did their numbers, it make sense to see through the contract before changing to SIAEC, than to pay the penalty to break the contract?

Didn't think that they could have signed the contract when the A320s were still under Tiger Airways.

More details have been revealed with regards to the TPE incident. It was mentioned in ST that the pilots switched on a back up power device(assuming it is the APU) to burn off fuel due to them coming close to an overweight landing.

Why were they carrying more fuel than required ? Unexpected tailwinds ?

I was flying to TPE early this month, the weather was quite bad. We need to circle for a while and I still cannot see anything (everything was white) outside the window even at 2000 ft only.

Maybe that day was unexpected quite clear so they have "extra" fuel.

Also I thought TPE flight will continue to Japan right, may be the bring the fuel from SIN?

This is the TPE terminator which is the day flight. There are two night flights that will terminate at NRT and ICN respectively

Isn't there one that lands in CTS as well?

Its interesting how the A320 can be in "over-weight" position for landing into Taipei as even if were to have a full fuel for the SIN-TPE flight it would be about 6 hours of flying, but after flying 4 hours to TPE, the plane should be able to land without being over-weight even if it had 2 or even 3 hours of fuel left.

Scoot 787 Grounding
Singapore Airlines will be operating the following flights for Scoot on selected dates:
SQ8111/8112 replacing TR016/017 using A333
SQ8121/8122 replacing TR002/003 using B772

TR895|07APR (KIX-KHH-SIN) operated by 9V-OJC AOG in KHH. Scoot will be mounting a rescue flight to KHH operated by 9V-OJG.

Based on FR24, the aircraft that’s AOG in KHH is 9V-OFC.

My apologies for the typo. Yes it should be 9V-OFC that is AOG in KHH.

TR387|11APR (CRK-SIN) originally operated by 9V-TRV is delayed as the aircraft AOG in CRK. 9V-TAQ is being ferried to CRK as TR5320 in order to operate the delayed TR387 flight back to SIN.

TR895|18APR (KHH-SIN) operated by 9V-OFE was cancelled as the aircraft AOG in KHH. 9V-OFC will be ferried to KHH as TR5001 on 19APR to rescue the stranded passengers.

Weirdly it departs only at 6am, and it has been retimed to 7am (19APR19).

TR700|20APR (KIX-HNL) originally operated by 9V-OJH was delayed overnight due to a technical fault with the aircraft. 9V-OFK was ferried to KIX as TR5001 to rescue the stranded passengers.

TR387|22APR (CRK-SIN) operated by 9V-TRC has been cancelled due to the earthquake at Clark International Airport:

TR573|23APR (BLR-SIN) originally operated by 9V-TRT was delayed as the aircraft AOG in BLR. 9V-TAO was ferried to BLR as TR5001 to rescue the stranded passengers.

Delay to verbal security threats n crews exceeding their flight time limit

Interesting to note that Scoot sent a replacement aircraft and why not just sent a replacement operating crew instead of together with a replacement aircraft - as then the original aircraft would be flown back empty and be a costly way.

TR509|01MAY (ATQ-SIN) originally operated by 9V-OFH (B788) was delayed as the aircraft AOG in ATQ. 9V-OFC (B788) was ferried to ATQ as TR5508 to rescue the stranded passengers. The passengers eventually reached Singapore after a 18hr delay.

Can’t find other thread to post this, so post it here
MI468(13/May) SIN to COCHIN return to Changi Airport 1hr after departure. Not sure what happen

Aircraft was 9V-MGJ.

9V-MGN scheduled to take over and operate as MI468D|13MAY (SIN-COK).

STD: 2230

TR567|20MAY (TRZ-SIN) operated by 9V-TRS had to divert and make an emergency landing in Chennai due to a cargo smoke warning.

TR109|19MAY (SZX-SIN) operated by 9V-TAN cancelled as aircraft AOG due to fuel leak. Operated as TR7002|21MAY (SZX-SIN) ATD 0033.

TR899|18MAY (NRT-TPE-SIN) was cancelled as 9V-OJD AOG in NRT. 9V-OFA was ferried to TPE as TR5001 and 9V-OFG was ferried to NRT as TR5003 to rescue the stranded pax.

TR157|24MAY (SHE-SIN) was cancelled as 9V-OFG AOG in SHE. 9V-OFI was ferried to SHE as TR5156 to rescue the stranded pax.

TR123|11JUN (WUH-SIN) was cancelled/delayed as 9V-OJE AOG in Wuhan. Rescue aircraft 9V-OFA ferried SIN-WUH as TR5001.

TR875|18JUN was cancelled as 9V-TRE AOG in Narita. Rescue aircraft 9V-TRO was ferried SIN-NRT as TR5001.

TR974|12AUG has been cancelled due to protests at HKG.

TR980|12 Aug SIN-HKG turned back near Zhuhai and landed back in SIN at 20:36. Total flight time 6hr 20 mins for the A320neo 9V-TNA.

Fortunately its a A320NEO and that it was ferrying supposedly a full fuel load as otherwise it would not be able to fly back to SIN. Am sure they were prepared for a possible diversion as normally they will not be tankering a full fuel load and will refuel when it lands at HKG for the return flight.

Made the news: https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news...elled-11803022

I'm surprised they chose to turn back though, since they were already enroute they would have been allowed to land.

NOTAM for VHHH did not permit WSJC (Singapore) flights to land at HKG during that period.

Someone posted the NOTAM on airliners.net.

Flights that had not yet departed - those already airborne were told to continue with "expected diversion", so I guess this was the Scoot captain's call.

On a side note, today's TR974 is again cancelled. (and SCMP journos fly Scoot? Oof)

flight to no where :)

TR139|07SEP (TSN-SIN) operated by 9V-OJB was cancelled as the aircraft went technical in Tianjin. 9V-OJH was ferried as TR5001 to Tianjin to rescue the stranded pax. The passengers eventually reached Singapore after a delay of 14.5hrs.
