Just this month there was talk about LATAM and Air New Zealand grounding their 787s due to Trent 1000 engine problems. I do think the 777s are incredibly efficient and probably one of the best in terms of reliability but to compare a mature 20 year design to new A350 would be comparing apples to oranges.

Originally posted by SQfanatic View Post5 years ago I remember when the first 787's had a battery problem forcing airlines to ground their entire fleet (Referencing ANA for instance). Of course, after that, I never heard of any further problems occurring.
Want to clarify, I like both Boeing and Airbus. Just think the broad statement of Airbus having more problems than Boeing isn't an accurate statement unless backed by research across carriers other than just SQLast edited by hviswanathan; 15 February 2018, 08:41 PM.

All new technology has teething problems. I work in IT and whilst it isn't the same industry as aviation we face the same issues with new technology.

SQ318 to LHR has been delayed almost 4 hours. iCargo indicates that it had changed equipment 3 times and is using SWE off SQ1. I hope it wasn't a mechanical issue on the last one that ended up forcing SWE to be used (Initially supposed to use SWW, then SWD). ETA is now 10:51PM (Close to 11PM arrival).
Also, SQ494 got delayed as well, I wonder if it's around the same reason, change of equipment. Initially supposed to use SWE off SQ1 but using SWY off SQ212, but that got delayed almost an hour.Last edited by SQfanatic; 17 February 2018, 05:03 PM.

SQ241 to SYD got delayed 4 hours. initially would have used the aircraft off SQ218 (SWD) but is using the aircraft off SQ7 (SWO). ETA for 241 is expected only at 9PM. However, SQ211 (Operated by SWH) did depart on time and is scheduled to arrive on time (Departed before 241).
It looks like SQ211 will turn back as SQ242 having an ETA close to 3AM and SQ241 will turn back as SQ212 tomorrow morning SYD time given the SYD cerfew as discussed before in this thread.Last edited by SQfanatic; 22 February 2018, 12:24 PM.
