Hey guys, now being 2009...
I just want to create this Changi/S'pore aviation related stuff
topic. Please list down all articles or accounts pertaining to our
aviation industry! Thx airliners.net for references and a certain
insider source for info.
I shall start off with:
SQ to cancel
214 flights due to a drop in traffic
SIA will cancel 214 flights from now till end of Q1 '09 due to a
drop in pax traffic.

Morning SQ 223 to Sydney will be cancelled from Mon to
Thurs(B77W)
IAH(Houston) will remain in the SQ schedules for Q1 '09, despite
reports of low pax load for Y class(presumably J and F class with
cargo make it profitable).
SIN - FCO will drop to 2x weekly from 3x weekly now.
Early 772(ER derated models) - Few of them will have a hastened
exit from SQ
Certain B747-400 and at least 1 B773 will also exit revenue
service(not all though)
Certain B772ER(derated and non derated) along with some B773
will be refurbished.
SQ A380 has its average load factor around 90%, good for such a
new aircraft and after 1yr and 4months have had its 1 millionth
pax!
Reports show SQ608/9 to/from Incheon(Seoul) will be cut. Inside
sources within SQ(PR, HR and Ticketing Dept) tell me the next
destination for the A380 will be Paris(!!!). SQ has also begun
services to Riyadh via Abu Dhabi and will begin services to
Kuwait(!!!). It seems that their MEast expansion is well and truly
underway!
