Tbh, no one has the 100% factually correct answer since we have no access to their Operation/ Fleet Planning data. Airbus lent MSN 460 to run some test on certain flight equipment after it left the production line in June 2021 and has only recently been repainted in full SQ livery. I guess they were predicting MSN 485 and 494 will be delivered before MSN 460 hence the skip? It may also be SQ not needing a long haul A350 that urgently due to COVID19 hence internal reconfiguration within SQ Operation team was done.
Actual delivery date of the airframe may play a role, there are few MSNs (464, 475, 472) which have later MSN sequence than MSN 460 and have been delivered. They are following the sequence nicely.
Registration#/ MSN/ Model/ Seat Config./ Delivery Date
9V-SJB 472 Airbus A350-941 C42W24Y187 25 Jun 2021
9V-SJA 364 Airbus A350-941 C42W24Y187 22 Nov 2019
9V-SHV 475 Airbus A350-941 C40Y263 31 Mar 2021
9V-SHU 469 Airbus A350-941 C40Y263 26 Mar 2021
9V-SHT 464 Airbus A350-941 C40Y263 19 Mar 2021
I think SQ also postponed the delivery of MSN 485 and MSN 494 and they are yet to built as we speak.
The final 10 MSN sequences to be built will be: MSN 485, 494, 514, 525, 564, 568, 593, and another three undetermined, plus MSN 460; concluding total order of 67 airframe.Last edited by jul247; 22 November 2021, 10:52 AM.

MSN 485 and MSN 494 have already been built. Both have been assigned test registrations. MSN 485 has been spotted fully painted but not on the Flightline yet. She could be having her engines fitted. Flight testing should begin soon. MSN 494 should be exiting the Final Assembly Line soon or perhaps has already exited the FAL since she has been assigned a test registration. MSN 485 and MSN 494 could be the missing 9V-SJC and 9V-SJD, respectively.
If MSN 485 and MSN 494 commence their flight testing next month, we could still see 9V-SJC, 9V-SJD and 9V-SJE being delivered in sequence early next year assuming I am correct in identifying their actual registrations. Only time will tell as we eagerly wait for the emergence of MSN 485 and MSN 494 onto the Flightline.
