I doubt fuel will remain low when flight start to operate again. The low price is just temporary.

I work in the aviation industry and we are expecting full recovery at the earliest in 18 months (i.e end 2021). This is in line with Changi closing their T2 till end 2021.
The industry outlook is bleak. If not for govt support, it will be worrying for survival.
The other thing to lookout for, it will be more airlines going bankrupt the longer this persist. This will give SQ more opportunities. In Korea, Asiana looks like it won't survive. In Australia, QF will become more conservative. In China, remains to be seen how many of the fringe airlines survive.

I wonder travel post Wuhan Pneumonia will mean that we will need to do testing before we fly.
That might mean we might need to go to a designated Polyclinic to get a test for Wuhan Pneumonia and ensure it is negative before it is permitted to fly, and you might need a medical certificate that you are proven to be free from Wuhan Pneumonia before you are able to board and enter into another country.
Also initially we might see travel bubbles which means we will only able to go to countries where it is free from Wuhan Pneumonia in the short to medium future.

Originally posted by SQ025 View PostI dont see that. SQ may need ULRs on US routes if the restrictions on certain transit points (i.e. Europe to US) are not getting lifted.

Some thoughts from EK's Tim Clark on where the airline industry may become.
https://www.thenational.ae/business/...stry-1.1015208
Briefly, he thinks:
Airlines will be reduced 20-30%
A380/B747 are gone, future with A350/B787
Without government bailout, 85% of airlines might have been gone

Originally posted by flyguy View PostFuel hedging is different from future current prices, as SQ have hedged its fuel prices at $72 for this year, wgereas it other airlines have started to hedged its future fuel price at current prices which is less than half of what SQ hedges, it would meant that they are able to run on the lower fuel prices for the next 6 to 12 months depending on their hedging policy.

Originally posted by flyguy View PostIt;s very unlikely that the 7 ULRs will be fully utilised for another 2 years at least and the limited seating configuration doesnt not allow the ULRs to be operated profitably on any other normal A350 routes.
Airbus may be able to offer them decent pricing, otherwise they'd have just set the work done for Qantas on fire.an infrastructure geek
