A350 Deliveries and Routes

[SQ228]

That's excellent news! She's currently in Station C33, the new paint hanger. We should see her in full SQ colours in about 3 weeks' time.

The bit we most want to see are the two letters on the landing gear doors. Nobody would bet against one of them being an A but the other one is the big mystery!

With MSN 26 entering the paint hanger, we have 2 other SQ A350s undergoing rework before they too enter the paint hanger. Here is MSN 31 (SQ#3).




MSN 26 is in Station L32 in the background.

Based on information from various A350 online sites, namely, a350.board.net and a350xwbproduction, MSN 26 will be registered as 9V-SMA. We will know in a week or two when she comes out of the paint hanger.

According to A350 Production list, it has shown the 5th A350 for SIA has its parts arriving. I have also seen some 'upward' revision for selected plane delivery, perhaps we can see A350s delivered sooner?

[FN-GM]

MSN 24 is due to be delivered to TAM on 21st December 2015. So MSN 26 can't be far behind.

MSN 29 the first for CX is due February 2016.

SQ first A350 routes: KUL, CGK, AMS

Singapore Airlines will fly its first Airbus A350-900 to Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta from February to March on crew familiarisation runs, with Amsterdam chosen as the first long-haul route for April

In the press, the first a350s will fly to AMS from April 2016, but selected KUL and CGK flights will be used for training from January.

So AMS loses F again?

[Metropolitan Airlines]

Well I am very disappointed that HKG has missed out again - and even worse passengers at SYD, which is SQ's golden egg still need to suck up with those aging B772s before connecting themselves to Europe.

Probably has to do with the lack of F on the A350s.

I'm betting on IST as one of the next few destinations after AMS.

I am expecting MUC/MAN and JNB/CPT

First SQ A350 routes revealed: KUL and CGK for crew famil runs, then AMS from April as first commercial long-haul route

That's just given me an idea

Great! I have a May'16 J-Class booking from AMS-SIN. Hopefully SQ don't change its plans.

The registration is indeed 9V-SMA.
