I hope this is in the right thread, but...

SiQ221 is currently heading into Sydney with 9V-SWV operating the flight. I know this would be its first visit down under. It also features the newest SQ products on board as well.

Is this a last minute sub or anything special behind it?

Alex.

VT-ANA & VT-ANB 787-8's Air India have both had their first flights recently, so delivery & entry into service is likely in February or March.
