    • Someone blasted SQ for not carrying enough fuel on SQ861 in the Chinese newspaper.
      Those on SQ861 were only served drinks during the delay.

      Slightly off topic, it was also reported AK1755 from Miri to Sin were also delayed. Suppose to land at Changi at 3pm but only land at 11pm after being diverted to Senai

      Frankly speaking, I would think Changi Airport would have done better planning n maybe ask airline to retime certain flight in the first place.

        Agree with sbs2716g that caas could have informed airlines of impending delays and have better planned this out. The impact on SQ on delays like this is immense. Passengers on the inbound flights have to rebooked and hotels have to be booked if the next flight is too late. The inbound's aircraft next flight is also delayed as well. The knock down effects are significant.

        As Singapore's brand name further develops for international meetings, it's about time CAAS seriously considers making Paya Lebar airport as the de facto airport for VIP jets during meetings like this. This arrangement would greatly reduce the strain on Changi, at least until the third runway opens.

        Another idea is to consider passengers to deboard from Paya lebar itself. Buses could be arranged for transiting passengers. Not the most ideal situation and lots of details have to be ironed out, but it beats sitting in an aircraft for 3 hours with just drinks for refreshment.

          ETD: 0120
          ATD: 0204

          SQ237|17NOV18 originally operated by 9V-SWN was delayed after an aircraft swap. 9V-SWR is the replacement aircraft.

          ETD: 0205
          ATD: 0238

          • SQ26 FRA-JFK | 18NOV18 | 9V-SKN took off 4h24 behind schedule. SQ26 SIN-FRA (17NOV18) was actually operated by SKL and it had arrived on time. The plane must have gone tech. SKN was actually the one operating SQ25 JFK-FRA (17NOV18) and it’s heading straight back to JFK.

            • SQ38|18NOV (SIN-LAX) delayed until 0700+1. Original aircraft 9V-SGB technical; replacement aircraft is designated as 9V-SMS at the moment.

              SQ336|19NOV (SIN-CDG) operating by 9V-SWL is currently returning back to SIN, squawking 7700 (General Emergency).

                9V-SWM is the replacement aircraft for 9V-SWL and will depart at 0530 as SQ336D.

                      9V-SMS has just departed as SQ038D to LAX. Interesting replacement aircraft.

                        Probably carrying light load but wow can the non-ULR do the distance?
                        I’m thinking more about the LAX-SIN sector

                            Yes is easily doable as the ULR carries only 161 pax and the standard A359 carries up to 253 pax, hence with the less reduced pax load from a ULR to a standard aircraft, it should be no issue to fly SIN-LAX, and as United has been flying SIN-LAX non-stop using its standard B787.

                                Actually SWL was also swapped out of SQ494 few days ago. N it also did not go on SQ241 as scheduled on 14/11.
