The A380s will definitely fly again and the only question is when. SIA is not going to retire all its 19 A380s just like that considering that 5 of the A380s are very new. At the most SIA will need to retire a few of its older aircrafts which are over 10 years old.

Originally posted by 259850 View PostIf the seats, etc, have already been paid for and delivered and are sitting in containers, the marginal cost of installing them might not be that high (given the precision nature of the work, a lot of the people involved may not be contract staff so have to be paid anyway). So if there is some chance that they will fly, management may want to get the refurbishment done.Originally posted by flyguy View PostThe A380s will definitely fly again and the only question is when.

Full details in the SIA News Update:
https://www.singaporeair.com/saar5/p...r-q2fy2021.pdf
19 other aircraft include:
- 4 Boeing 777-200 / -200ERs
- 4 Boeing 777-300s (non-ERs)
- 9 Airbus A320s
- 2 Airbus A319s
Seems like remaining MI A320s and the TR ones in ASP are for the chop. The others are fairly logical.Last edited by MainlyMiles; 6 November 2020, 07:48 PM.

I haven't been on board MI A320/A319 before, wanted to catch it before their retirement. Then COVID-19 hits. Oh well......Historically most of their A319/A320 heads for scrapyard since they have higher MTOW and different engines compared those in market. Even young birds are not spared from scrapyard.
Wondering what SQ/MI will deploy for Koh Samui since the airport can only handle B737 classic and A319? Or are they planning to suspend the route? Guess we will only know after the pandemic blows over.
Those A380 which are still in old configuration and not refurbished guess will be first two go: 9V-SKF, SKG, SKH, SKI, SKJ, SKL and SKR. All these seven are coincidentally are still stored at Changi.
As for the rest, the 777 Classics impairment was expected. Have they mentioned anything about A333? One can only hope that the world recovers soon, if the situation persists, SQ may start shedding older B77W and TR A320ceo
