Great to see SQ is not planning any service reduction on SIN-ADL route, but that's no surprise at all.

Every single SQ flight I had been on between SIN and ADL for the past year had a load factor over 85% - and I am a somewhat regular on the route (flew 11 sectors between SIN and ADL on SQ over the past 12 months - in both peak and low seasons).

Regards.

A reduction in 77W frequencies into SYD... Nooooo :( :( :( ..tell me this isn't so!

Any update on which days SYD won't be blessed with the SQ 77W ?

Thanks for the info Jim. :)


Well as long as weekend services of the SQ77W aren't removed I'm all happy. :D

Any reason for the reduction though?...something to do with the A380 capacity, or just an RoI decision by the bean-counters?

I think there is a small degree of overcapacity between Singapore and Sydney during low seasons, as I experienced first hand over the last 12 months, sometimes I'd been able to secure ID/AD tickets in and out of Sydney while not a single seat can be found for Melbourne and Adelaide services when looking at the same dates.
