    Such self caveating is indefeasible if SQ is an isolated case. If it's a systematic problem and airlines start to discover such defect, RR would be at their knees in no time, like Boeing.
    Believed for the RR equipped 787-8 and 787-9, it seems to be a systemic problem in its fan blades. As SIA is the first launch customers of the 787-10 and already the similiar issues occurred in the Trent 1000 TEN would very likely meant most of the engines will have similiar issues, with other airlines too. It took RR a year to replace the engines of the earlier Trent 1000 on the airlines 787-8 and -9 and airlines having to ground their 787s for a long period of time, and with this first batch of its new Trent 1000 TEN on SQ 787-10 having similiar issues, it will take another few months to rectify and will mess up SQ scheduling for sometime.

      It may take more than than few months as RR is severely behind delivery schedule for Trent 1000 TEN. While they battled with production delay, they also need to work on rectifying the issue affecting current B787-8 and B787-9 in operation. BA, VS, NZ and LATAM have several grounded now. They are leasing in extra older generation WB to cover to the capacity shortfall.

      • SQ reactivated 9V-STU to deal with the two B787-10 grounding. After three months in storage, it is freshly painted in Star Alliance livery! A first for SQ A330!

        • It would be interesting to see if SIA will change the engine manufacturer for its 787-10 following this RR engine failure incidents. So far only 9 787s have been delivered out of an order for 40 787s. Would SIA change its engines from RR to GEnx-1B engines for say 20 of its other yet to be delivered 787s?
          As its still a big unknown question if the RR fixes for its Trent 1000 and 1000-TEN will be fully solved its problem and not occurred again after 2 or 3 years 2 of its fixes.

            but apparently, this STU is already in STAR ALLIANCE livery on 27/3, few days before the grounding of the 787-10... 9V-SCD was discovered to have the blade issue on 30/3.

            so most likely this STU was suppose to go to another airline, and was painted in all white. but somehow, the new lease did not materialise. and SQ decide to renew the lease...

            • seem like SQ872 (HK) AND SQ915 (MNL) are rostered to run on 333/772 respectively for the following 1 week.

              • SQ638/637 to NRT is still being operated by the B78X. It looks like one of the only routes not impacted as a result of the 78X grounding.

                      The tails have MI logos. yflyer is referring to the row of planes closest to the water, or are you talking about an earlier post?

                        Behind the MI planes are 4 SQ planes and two Scoot 787s.

                        I know Scoot has 787s grounded, and thought if the 4 SQ planes were also among the affected 787s. Couldn't exactly make them out on mobile.

                        • Most of the affected 787s are parked at 500+ freighter bays. SCI has had both engines removed to supply other aircrafts. Believe OFD also has both engines removed as well. Should be visible if a plane landed or took off from the other end of the runway.
