Does anyone know if the already existing A350's will get the new winglets as well?

The 1st SQ A350-900 ULR is preparing to head to the Paint Hanger. Interesting to note that the photographer has indicated that she will be 9V-SGE. We will soon know the actual registration when she emerges from the Paint Hanger in 2 weeks.

I'm also intrigued to note the photographer indicated this is going to be 9V-SGE - wonder whether would SQ start the A350-900ULR series with SGE then...? From memory I believe SQ have used the 9V-SGx registrations on 2 aircraft types/series - the Boeing 757-212 in the early/mid 80s which are registered 9V-SGK to SGN, and more recently the A340-541 which are registered 9V-SGA to SGE. If this 1st A350-900ULR is indeed going to be SGE then perhaps they could be registered SGE to SGJ (that be be exactly 7 aircraft)...Last edited by wlgspotter; 10 April 2018, 12:48 PM.

As MSN 216 would conduct testings in Airbus and join SQ later this year, so I think the 7 ULR would be 9V-SGA till 9V-SGG, which tally with the 787-10 with earlier production testing frame as 9V-SCB and later one got 9V-SCA

The unofficial A350 Production List shows MSN216 as 9V-SGE also and has Oct'18 delivery planned.
1st ULR to be delivered would probably be MSN220 which has a Aug'18 delivery planned.
In any case, we will know soon.
What's interesting in the production list is that it list production/delivery planned till SQ's 39th A350

Originally posted by ek&sq View PostIf that's the case, I would expect an announcement soon since NW18 is only 6 months away. AusBT recently reported NYC and LAX are expected to launch "at the end of the year", and a third destination to follow in "early 2019".

*IF*SGE is due in Oct and SGA in Aug, then we'll see 5 planes in that short period; assuming they get delivered in alphabetical sequence.
