A380 - Master Thread

[SQ228]

Kilo-Papa is still not yet airborne since it last flew into AUH. Hmmm.... wonder if something is up and coming to catch us offguard, pleasantly surprised for its 70th Anniversary come May 1st.

SKL has been out for far longer. I certainly hope at least one of these A380s is getting painted with something otherwise the A380 fleet isn't looking healthy.

9V-SKL is currently out on an air-test as SQ8898 today (27APR17).

An air-test just before 1 May...

But then SKP could also make a sudden appearance.

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

ETA is now 2052 LT.

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.

Is SIA outsourcing their A380 maintenance checks ?

[9V-SPL]

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.

[9V-SPL]

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

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

I see. Thanks again for the heads up.
