SQ872 (SIN-HKG) operated by 9V-SCB have been diverted to Guangzhou. It was scheduled to depart CAN at 1925 arriving HKG at 2025 but think it might stay grounded at CAN as understand that now arriving flights to HKG are affected as well.

Originally posted by yuuka_miya View PostI believe HKG-SFO is crewed separately from SIN-HKG, so a TPE fuel stop could work only if the second crew deadhead or they dredge one up from a SIN-TPE rotation.
Or they could negotiate with AAHK to be allowed to land in HKG for refuelling and crew change (but how are the HKG-SFO crew going to get to the airport?)
Or they could dig up an A359 (ULR?) and operate a special run of SQ33/34 instead.

If they offload HKG bound pax on SQ2 today, perhaps the payload might be light enough for the 77W can make it non-stop to SFO.
On the return, it could do a tech-stop in TPE, depending on the payload. If its light enough, perhaps all the way back to SIN

I doubt the A359 longhaul schedule has changed even with the addition of 9V-SMV, so there may be some slack to use an A359 if you wanted to fly non stop instead.an infrastructure geek

BTW changiairport.com is showing a 2130 departure time?

SQ865/871/2 are reflected as cancelled on HK airport website but SQ website never update yet.an infrastructure geek

Perhaps SQ could have arranged ground transportation from CAN to HKG?
SQ32 flight time is around 15 hrs for the past week.
Ground transportation might be an issue for those paxes with visa to China. Better to send everyone backLast edited by sbs2716g; 12 August 2019, 08:04 PM.

SQ2 (9V-SWL) is departing at 2100 according to Changi airport site and iCargo from Gate C20.
Meanwhile SQ1 (9V-SNB) is on its way from SFO-HKG with ETA of 0522 according to FR24, but the site is struggling to deal with the chaos because it also shows SNB flying in the opposite direction but cancelled.
