Originally posted by JonLee View PostYup. if all the planes continue to be refurbed, they will take up to around February next year to complete. This doesn't sound good for my flight to CHC this year end since sources have stated that NZ will be the last to receive the refurbed planes
By that reckoning, AKL/CHC could be getting refitted 200ERs by early October. If not and if you're travelling in Y (guessing?), you'll still get a good product. It's the J passengers that are really disadvantaged with the non-refits.

Originally posted by SQ228 View PostIST, CPH and FCO are the only remaining 24+hr destinations left that all depart SIN around midnight. None of these are daily destinations and FCO basically fits the gaps of the other two, so by early September these flights should be covered. Destinations such as SYD have been chosen as they will 'fit the gap' between all these flights.

Originally posted by pungpui View Postdo you know what this means for FCO as well? Is the same aircraft used to service NZ flights also used to service FCO?

SVC did a flight to AMS and back. Either they needed a non-refitted plane in a hurry or that was one very fast refurb...

Originally posted by JonLee View PostSVC appears to be in Refurb now. I guess they had to pull it off its refurb to operate SIN-AMS few days ago as they urgently needed a old 772ER as the 772ER refurbs do not have enough seats for the overbooked pax.
I think a last minute tech fault with SVB is a much more likely explanation.

Oh well, at least I don't need to expect on my SQ281 to AKL in July....
