So at the end they are taking out 2x A380 from Australia for India
But I hope SQ can compensate with deploying B77WN on SQ231 and SQ222 with their latest products for passengers to enjoy, since it is their flagship service.
Finally, I still don't understand why SQ is so hesitant to deploy A333 to Sydney and Melbourne and get rid of those B772 and B773s? Or they are waiting for the A350?
