The Singapore livery on the A380 is superb! I can only agree !! It looks fantastic in those colours nterstingly they havent adopted any 'nicknames titles' as they have done with their 747s .e.g. 'mega-top' ... maybe they will come later. Haven't they removed the names such as mega top etc.. on thei...

Thanks for sharing the shots. It's subjective I know but I don't like this new livery. The red balls are not very exciting as an airline livery.. Especially if you compare this A330 with the one of Jet Airways which came the other day... Chris Well maybe some day all SN A/C will fly in 9W livery......

Did it go like the other 3 to ZRH for painting and refurbishment? You think that the 3 other A330 will be painted in Zurich instead of Amsterdam ? I thought that the entire fllet had to be ainted by the QAPS facilities... The QAPS facilities can only accomodate planes up to the A319 or B737. Only t...
