Hi,

Booked for october, guess AY won't get them both together in the fleet during the training shedule, or will they ? mmmm... Could be... With LOT we had also both regs on one trip during these period, like the one world livery but hoped on a more special one , Marimekko version 2 :)

Any info anyone when the AY frames will be handed over to them?

thx,...

Singapore Airlines signed an agreement with Airbus to release seven production slots for A350-900s, reducing to 63 the number on firm order, while 20 purchase options remain unchanged. SIA also has lease extension options on some of the A330-300s already in service.

I read somewhere it was too late in the process to change drawings to new LATAM colours. Sounds similar as to why US Airways Airbus were painted in US colours and not the new AA colours.

At least as their first 'real' destination. They'll operate on flights to Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur if I'm not mistaken for crew familiarization.
