This related to how a company runs, and how fast the maintenance team works to fix up what we "call" small issues!
Spoken to mny SQ staff. They always suggest customer to write in and complain. Very bad projection of company image.
But we're drifting off topic.

9V-SKN First Flight
9V-SKN had her first flight today. Delivery to SQ will probably be in May.
9V-SKL seems to have a good chance of delivery in late December, but it could be January. 9V-SKN will probably be delivered in March.

9V-SKL, 9V-SKM, and 9V-SKN all together in Hamburg
9V-SKN is now on her way to XFW to join her sisters. She'll be arriving in Hamburg about two hours from now.
It is unclear whether or not the problem with the Trent 900s will impact the delivery of 9V-SKL.

9V-SKO is in Toulouse and will remain there for another four or five months before heading to Hamburg.

No more WhaleJets for SQ this year
It is now clear that 9V-SKL will not be delivered until 2011, hopefully in January. It looks like 9V-SKM will be delivered in March or April, 9V-SKN in May or June, and 9V-SKO perhaps about October.

Production at Airbus and RR is based on just-in-time manufacturing. There was no large stock of spare engines. So now, Airbus install engines at TLS, fly the raw airframe to XFW for outfitting, pull the engines off and fly them as cargo back to TLS to install on the next frame to be ferried.
