SQ 351 12:30 Copenhagen (CPH) 06:30+1 Singapore (SIN)
Looking at the timetable here it seems to me they would need more than 1 A350 to run this daily since they will be waiting at SIN for almost a day. Perhaps some short haul flights will get slot in, such as SIN-HKG-SIN?
Alternatively, if they can delay departure from SIN by 2 hours, this pair can work even better with connections from SQ241/242 (also letting this pair to run on A350) as well.

I think they are expecting to receive two or more together at the beginning. Three would allow pairing with another long haul with slightly different timings, or a cycle of local Asian, CPH and an Australian city.Last edited by SQ228; 17 September 2015, 06:22 PM.

MSN 26 moved from Station L70 to L32 apparently for more rework. Not sure what entails there. There are 2 A350s belonging to Qatar & 1 belonging to Finnair ahead of MSN26 in the production line numbering, which are still unpainted. With 2 A350 paint hangers & one more opening soon, the painting of MSN 26 should not be too far away. I'm still predicting a mid-October entry into the paint hanger for MSN 26.Last edited by SQKevin; 17 September 2015, 08:29 PM.

This also aligns with the fact that SQ will make decision with regards to (maybe their first A350 route) ramp up CPH in 2 months time according to the reports.
I predict SQ will announce their A350 destinations and details once the plane has finished painting as cabin configuration and engine attachment will happen right after this.

A long-range version of the A350 to fly SIN-JFK directly? This website seems to think will happen. Could this be the reason SQ cancelled 7 of their A359 deliveries in wait for the A350LR?

MSN23 (Finnair #5) entered the paint hanger today. Assuming that painting takes the usual 2-3 weeks to complete, MSN 26 (SQ#1) could end the paint hanger at the end of the second week of October. This is of course based on the assumption that Qatar's #9 (MSN12) & #10 (MSN25) will continue to be bypassed for the paint hanger just like when MSN 23 & 24 overtook them for the paint hanger.Last edited by SQKevin; 22 September 2015, 07:23 PM.
