If they replace roughly 9 333, 8 772/77E, 5 773 thats still just 22 aircraft and we all know how "intensively" these fleets are used. So that leaves 10+ aircraft for growth? Let alone all additional regional A350 deliveries. Can we expect another amendment to that order soon? Are there growth opportunities for Scoot at the moment? |

![]() It must be a good thing for SQ to have 1,000th 787 - did SIA also have the 1,000th 747?

![]() And the 10,000th Airbus aircraft too! I wonder if SQ makes requests to the manufacturers to receive such milestone aircraft or do the manufacturers assign them.

![]() Believed when airlines order their planes, the manufacturer will tell them the position they are in and what will be their numbers in the queue.

![]() AFAIK SQ didn't ask for the 10,000 Airbus, they were told by Airbus just over 2 weeks beforehand that they’ll be getting #10,000.

![]() 9V-SCQ had its first flight today at Charleston. First action in a while for the new 787-10s!

Just an observation... It seems that for Boeing aircraft, the planes would come fully painted including it's final registration (i.e. 9V-SCQ in this instance) even when making *only* its first flight. Whereas I've noticed that for Airbus aircraft, they would typically wear the test registrations F-Wxxx for 1st flight and during flights tests/CAF, and would only receive its final registration prior to it being delivered. Any idea if my observation is correct, and if so, curious to know why is this so..? |

![]() It looks like there may have been a charter flight operated by 9V-SCK from SIN-DXB-MEL with callsign SQ8030. My guess is this could be for the Australian Open. There were only passengers carried on the DXB-MEL sector.

![]() Yes this was a charter for the tennis. 13:04 flight time, not bad for the 787-10. Must have been relatively empty.
