Aircraft change to A380 are not loaded on schedules from 31 October, 2010 as yet. Will this restore the A380 on SQ222 and will inbound be SQ231?

So currently from SYD

2 x 77W
1 x 772/3 Older model/interior
1 x A380

Going to
1 x 77W
1 x 772/3 Older model/interior
2 x A380

They need to get rid of the 772/773 on the MEL/SYD flights

Currently MEL has
1 x 77W
1 x A380
1 x 773 -Refurbished interior - But only "Medium Haul" business class

Hopefully MEL gets another A380 with another A380's before the end of the year and another 2 in the 1st Qtr of 2011.

MEL won't get another A380 for a while.

Hopefully MEL gets A330,s to replace one of the 777 flights,wishful thinking

Just not a fan of the "Regional business class product" when you have the long haul product on the other flights.

Needs to be a consistent product offering! But then again I am just an "armchair expert"

MEL will stay at 1xA380, 1x77W and 1x773.

If anything were to change it would see the 773 be replaced by a 77W.

Two daily A380's may happen during the week leading up to Christmas, But I would be putting my money a 744.

Singapore Airlines will be have a further six or seven A380s by the end of 2011, and then they may consider another A380 to MEL, But until then, it is going to stay the same.
