What is the reason for them removing the 777 off those routes?

more likely age, some of those 777 are pushing a dozen years old.

Took SQ a while to get the A330. All these years I reckon they couldve done well with an A330 fleet - just look at Cathay, Northwest etc. - the A330 is a true workhorse. Finally they can put them to good use!

The issue that hasn't been raised as yet is that SQ will actually be reducing seats by 38 per flight with the conversion from 772 to A333 operations. The 772 has 30 + 293 seats. Once this is complete both Brisbane and Perth will have 1444 less return seats per week. Adelaide will loose 532 seats per week with their daily flights. The travel industry will not like this which will only add to the bleak forecasts for inbound tourists to Australia.
Will there be any increase in flights to limit or offset the reduction? The future schedules have not had the aircraft change updated as yet to show the aircraft change. |
That was the point of my question actually, the drop in seats between the 777 and the A330.
Also, don't the regionally configured A330's have less comfortable seating than the 777 configured for long haul? |
