Originally posted by SQ228 View PostSQ856/61 has been downgraded to a 77W from the present combination of ver.1 & 3 A380s on Tue, Wed, Thu & Sat in the coming week according to fr24's future listings. Demand for travel to/from HKG is not very stable at present and into the future I guess.

Quite likely SKT isn’t yet ready for service...30mins indicates it got cut short or they were merely testing one item... the aircraft didn’t even maintain altitude. It just went up to FL170 then descended immediately.
I wonder what that means for SQ638/637 on 1 Jan... no new product?

So maybe SKT will be deployed. Or they will have to use another version 3 pulled from somewhere else. But really they have not much option to pull

Originally posted by ell3 View Posti have been flying SIN<>HKG quite a few times between oct-dec and i can tell you the loads have been quite good... barely noticed any difference. perhaps only the business cabins look a little less busy than usual.

Though what can they downgauge to? Regional A350?an infrastructure geek
