Originally posted by loldude333 View PostI think you might have been dreaming, my friend. I don't recall anything about IST ever being served by A359s. There was speculation yes but it never materialised.Originally posted by SQ228 View PostIt should be, but it isn't. Like many former routes of the 10-strong "refitted" 772ER fleet, 20 A350s have arrived and been deployed, but they still have an old 772 for a long haul flight. CHC is another.
Does anyone have the behind the scenes scoop why IST and CHC are such second-class long hauls (along with WLG to some extent)? I hope it doesn't mean SQ might axe IST. Look at ATH and CAI, and I get nervous.
(but as said earlier there's TK)

SQ has 60 A359s (around there) on order (not sure if that includes the ULRs), but it depends on how they want to stagger the deliveries, so its anyone's guess. If it continues at the current rate, we should see average 12-14 birds delivered a year if my memory doesn't fail me. Which means....another 4-5 years? Someone with more accurate knowledge correct me if i'm wrong.
The 787-10 should have the range for IST. IST and CHC are the 2 longer haul routes than are still serviced by those ancient 772ERs. If SQ were acting as we expect, those would be the first routes served by the 787-10s but given the way things have been going, again its anyone's guess. What is more or less certain is that these birds will be used to serve some destinations in Japan, China, Australia, India and perhaps within SEA.
