Singapore Airlines A330

[Joseph Saragozza.]

i am sure this has been spoken many times before, but i have tried a search and could not find anything.

dose anybody have any news on the arrival or current status of Singapore Airlines Airbus A330 aircraft. correct me if i am wrong but i think they are getting these aircraft as compensation as a result of the A380 Delay.

thanks,
joe.

I researched this a few weeks back when an article said they were coming to BNE, and found they were coming around may next year with i think 19 coming over 2 years.

And yes i believe it is apart of compensation for the 380

They are getting something like 20 A330's I believe and they are being provided on lease to cover the gap from when the A350's will arrive.

Whilst they would have received a good amount from Airbus for compensation, I think the A330 choice had more to do with the A350 order.

looks like the third SIA A330 is out of the hanger.
wounder where the two other ones are?
delivery shouldn't be too far away!

Ymml will also see the SQ A333. It will take over the SQ217/218 service down the track.
