Singapore Airlines A330
 

i am sure this has been spoken many times before, but i have tried a search and could not find anything.

dose anybody have any news on the arrival or current status of Singapore Airlines Airbus A330 aircraft. correct me if i am wrong but i think they are getting these aircraft as compensation as a result of the A380 Delay.

thanks,
joe.

I researched this a few weeks back when an article said they were coming to BNE, and found they were coming around may next year with i think 19 coming over 2 years.

And yes i believe it is apart of compensation for the 380

Cheers Lloyd

sweet lloyd. thats great, thanks for that.

i am sure they will look pretty good in the SIA livery :D

joe.

They are getting something like 20 A330's I believe and they are being provided on lease to cover the gap from when the A350's will arrive.

Whilst they would have received a good amount from Airbus for compensation, I think the A330 choice had more to do with the A350 order.

looks like the third SIA A330 is out of the hanger.
wounder where the two other ones are?
delivery shouldn't be too far away!

Ymml will also see the SQ A333. It will take over the SQ217/218 service down the track.

1st flight into BNE is sat night 28 march.

Next day all 3 flights will be 333 into BNE and the morning flight into PER as well.

Hi Lloyd,

Where did you get that info?

Michael hi

Basically thru 30 years in the industry and having alot of contacts however as you appreciate i cannot reveal this exact source on this board.

Let me know in April if i am correct.

Brisbane and Nagoya were always the first 2 ports notified already by SQ however i was not aware of Perth till told this week.I am not aware of MEL being a 333 port.

Cheers Lloyd

Cheers - thanks for the heads up. No offence I was just curious :)

Thanks Michael

No worries mate

Cheers Lloyd

Looks pretty :) - but it would look better with GE engines, in my opinion. :p

It looks great in Singapore colours

I agree

Keep your eyes out for -STC I've read various sources that mention the aircraft has already lost lots of paint of it's wings and it's fuselage roof is very tatty looking already.

9V-STF did the first A330 flight into Adelaide on May 2.

Ryan,

9V-STF was only delivered on the 29th of April, so a good one to get, so fresh out of the paint shop!
