After BUS (which just started), it seems like AMD will be the longest A330 flight at 5.5 hours. It warrants a change soon. Perhaps the upcoming SH* batch would do that.

Seem like the flight in Dec are almost sold out. SQ is selling return ticket price at around SGD1800 for economy seats. Ridiculous price.

About STC, my guess is that the lessor is giving a very attractive price to SIA since there probably won’t be a buyer for such an old A330.

Are we again looking at a case of “parts more valuable than airframe”, given that the A330s were talking about - including STC - are comparatively new (10yrs) and SSA is 5yrs old. Many of the A330s which other airlines are looking to offload are all markedly older. Cathay still flies it’s 23yr old A330s, as do Garuda.

Sadly, wastage will always be a trend in this world.
Imagine the A320s that will join the scrap pile in future then. And all the A380s.
Seems as if present day aircraft depreciate faster. Wonder what kind of impact that will have on airlines’ books and whether that will eventually drive the cost of air travel back up once again.
