9V-SMT rolled out onto the Flight Line today fully painted and cabin fitted. She should be on target for an end-December delivery. 9V-SMS, on the other hand, has not seen any flight activity since returning from XFW last Monday. If no further flight testing occurs soon, she will slip into an early December delivery.

9V-SMS completed her CAF yesterday. Delivery should take place this week as scheduled.
9V-SMU has emerged from the FAL for Outdoor testing. She is rumoured by some SQTalkers to be a Regional A359. Not sure if the experts here can tell by just looking at the window layout. The cabin has only been partially installed at this stage of production.

SMS and SMT are clearly the two additional A350s for BNE, which raises the question of SMU. Either the fleet has grown to a sufficient size that they now want a bit more slack for maintenance and equipment failure, or SMU represents a new destination or additional flights to existing ones.
The additional weekly to DUS from March could easily happen now given a Tuesday/Wednesday flight pair occurs at the point in the week when there is the most fleet availability, but then it does also remove existing maintenance opportunities too.
4x weekly IST could probably work with an extra A350 or alternately daily CHC. Either they get the old 772s off those destinations or they should ensure only the ones with ex-2006 77W products fly those 10 hour routes.
