btw, it sort of occurred to me that we could have gotten our answer to the 4 leased A380s - the 4 at ASP.
Was thinking why SKT and not SKU or SKV (since it looks like the newest ones are the ones sent).
Likely they struck a leasing deal that extends the lease and at the same time cuts the present day leasing cost (by way of agreement to store & preserve the aircraft) - frees up cash commitments for SQ now.
Insider info anyone?

doing the maths, more likely a few of the middle ones delivered in 2010-2011.

Is there a case for A380 combi for SQ or any other airlines currently operating the aircraft?
Imagine the upper deck will be used for premium cabins: Suites /First Class and Business Class in front followed by Premium Economy at the back. The main deck will have 2 economy cabins in front while the back will be used for carrying cargo. Of course if there is cargo door conversion programme then the combi aircraft will probably fit better into commercial flight operation turnaround.

Wonder when and if SQ will fly a few more A380s to park at Alice Springs as dont think the A380s will take to the skies till maybe Oct or Nov and even then it will be only a handful that will be used. The majority of the fleet will still be grounded till early 2021.

This report on mainlymiles suggests that the A380 will not return for commercial services in 2020 and some more A380 being moved to storage.
