To be honest, although the wear and tear was very evident on the seats - I was quite happy with both the flights in J - possibly only one complain on the return where the IFE wasn’t great on 9V-SVN.

Originally posted by SQKevin View PostYes, you are correct. I misread the spreadsheet and took 9V-SCE to be 9V-SCF. The correct information is below:
9V-SCE is scheduled for delivery on 1 June and 9V-SCF on 12 June.
9V-SCG & 9V-SCH, both Boeing test aircraft, are scheduled for delivery on 1 August and 10 October, respectively.

Originally posted by SQfanatic View PostWhat happened with SCG and SCH? August has already passed and SCG has not been delivered. SCH according to this post says October but that is a month away. Has there been any updates?

Originally posted by SQ228 View PostCHC is going to get the A359 long haul in January, although it's not clear where it will come off to free it up- possibly BNE. IST is a mystery to us all.
The 787s at this point are being used primarily on routes where more capacity is required without adding an extra flight. I don't think IST fits that category. At one point SQ had been growing the route and using it for connections to European destinations with TK codeshares. The failed coup and various terror incidents have really strained that plan. I know for example, that my travel insurance policy offers no cover in IST. SQ seem very happy using the old 772s on that route for now.
Originally posted by GR1 View PostJfyi I recently flew to IST and back on SQ, and surprisingly both flights were full in both J and Y. Spoke to one of the friendly crews and she joked they must rather deploy an A380 instead of the old B772 on the route since it’s doing so well.
To be honest, although the wear and tear was very evident on the seats - I was quite happy with both the flights in J - possibly only one complain on the return where the IFE wasn’t great on 9V-SVN.
It would be terrible if IST is offloaded to TR... and it might just happen with the integration of the brands and bookings across SQ MI TR.
But thinking about this again, I agree perhaps the seven eight seven won't go to IST or CHC

I think the main aim of the 787 currently is to provide more capacity on busy regional routes, rather than service destinations with questionable demand. A possible factor for SQ retaining SRJ and SRL for so long was the capacity that they provided to BKK and MNL. Other than the A380, those two planes had the highest number of seats in the fleet until the 787 arrived.

LN565 is going to painted in SQ colours. This is possibly SCG.

Hope that answers the question!
