Default SQ233/234 absent this week?

Noticed on my acars/ads-b logs that this flight has not appeared at all this week.

Checked for other threads but couldn't see it mentioned anywhere.

Any comments welcome.

Peter,

Singapore have recently cut capacity by 11% around the world. 3 ports in Australia have lost flights. Sydney being one of these cities.

Singapore - Sydney
Frequency remains at 3 Daily flight until 21JUN09, SQ233/234 cancelled.

Brisbane and Perth being the other two. Both these cities lost their 3rf faily flight which operated 5x weekly.

Hope this answers your question.

It was bound to happen for flight SQ233/234. It is not friendly departure time at SIN of 7am for long haul flight and return leg is worse when arrival time of 11.50pm, you will be missing all connections to europe thus have to wait till next day to catch connection out of SIN

Peter,

SQ233 is due into Sydney today, it departed Singapore at around 0720 this morning. I think this flight only operates on Fridays, Saturday's and Sunday's.

The cancellation of this flight begins in March .
