Wonder where are the Singapore registered airlines going to park their planes in Changi as Jetstar Asia says it have grounded all its 18 planes and SQ about half whch is about 68 planes and Silkair if its half of its 39 planes which should be more than that and Scoot with half of its 50 planes. But looking at the cancellations, it would looks like Silkair and Scoot would have cancelled more than 50% of their destination flights and more than half of their fleet are grounded as they served ASEAN and North Asia destinations mainly.Last edited by flyguy; 18 March 2020, 11:54 AM.

Originally posted by MainlyMiles View PostCuts now look much more severe than they did yesterday. No BNE flights at all, six SQ221 to SYD per week (down from 35, all others canned, no flights on Wednesdays), one LHR per day (SQ322), one MEL per day (SQ227), one PER per day (SQ223)...
This is huge. 50% seems like an understatement.

Could someone please confirm that SQ247/SQ248 will operate for the last time on the 19th or not?

Originally posted by MainlyMiles View PostOne of the runways could be temporarily closed and used to park aircraft. It's been done before elsewhere and at current traffic levels one operating runway at Changi should be sufficient for a few months.
Forcing airline paxs to land elsewhere with the current immigration lockdown condition in neighbouring countries is not something Changi would want to do.
They could possibly park the aircrafts on taxiways or even at the normal bays itself as they would not be used with the flight cuts.

Originally posted by kevin-sg View PostQantas says 90% cut in international routes. Most other airlines like AA, BA, LH will be cutting about 70%. I would be surprised if SQ can still operate at 50% with no domestic market.
We are due to fly AKL-NRT vv in April, so with this we won’t be able to travel although we have yet to hear from NZ about what will happen to our flight booking and plans going forward (in terms of refunds and/or flight credits) etc.

Originally posted by boing View PostThe main issue with parking on one of the runway is that if an incident occurs such as aircraft disabled on a runway or such, the entire airport practically closes down.
