    Leftover from SIN/Changi .. !!!

    9W VT - JBS in SIN



    And I missed the next 9W, a 330, arriving, while admiring my crappy picture ..

    For curiosity sake, host shows, there are 4X9W flights, from India to Singapore !!!!

    Singapore Mumbai 11 Jet Airways Daily 1905 2200
    Singapore Delhi 17 Jet Airways Daily 2310 0215
    Singapore Delhi 19 Jet Airways Daily 0805 1105
    Singapore Chennai 15 Jet Airways Daily 0920 1100

    SQ 380



    Another SQ 772-ER with a few SQ Tails in the background ..



    And a "stripes" 320, in fading light ..



    Another SQ 777, being towed to the gate .. a 772-ER



    And an EK 388, in the Remote Bay / Cargo Bay .. I wonder why it was shoved so far away !!! Next to it is a Daily TNT 747-400 tail



    And a Kangaroo 747-400. I wonder if they will disappear from Singapore .. with the new 'alliances' ..

    In the background, the "umbrella" area is the outdoor smoking area of Terminal 2



    The landscaped sign of Changi, with the ARFF ready to roll .. and .. the mound partially covering the Changi Air Base



    And lastly, an SQ 330, preparing to Push-off



    BTW, SQ's fleet strength now stands at

    Airbus A330-300 19
    Airbus A340-500 5
    Airbus A380-800 19
    Boeing 777–200 19
    Boeing 777–200ER 13
    Boeing 777–300 8
    Boeing 777-300ER 19

                @ SpookyFlyer & Sakith - According to Thomson Airways website, they don't have flights to CMB in Winter 2012. Any idea what this aircraft is doing at CMB ? Do you know what is the aircraft-registration for this B757 ? But it looks like it's coming from the Britain.

                    Spookyflyer, Thanks for that Aircraft Reg. Your answer has helped me to find out the reason for this aircraft visit to CMB. It is a TOM985 chartered by TCS Star Guest Expeditions, which is a luxury tour group. Below video will explain you everything in detail. please watch.

                          Withdrawn Virgin Atlantic A340-600 G-VFOX, which has been repainted plain white at Dublin, positioned Dublin – Manila this afternoon as VS813P for end of lease maintenance.

                          VS was the first airline to take the delivery of the A340-600 but they have now phase-out four/five of the A340-600s this year as this aircraft has clearly proved them it is un-ecnomical with a higher-fuel consumptions. I wonder what's the future of A340-600 going to be. Is there any way Airbus can make the A346 as a profitable aircraft for airlines ?

                              with the 346, airlines have one less thing to worry when it comes to ETOPS

                              Well, Singapore and KUL does see a few long distance non-Stop charters, on LH 346s, and one LH 346 is known to do Munich-Hawaii non-stop for a charter, regularly ..

                              Yes, it does have the legs, albeit not economical, and going non-stop over water is a big benefit I guess ..

                              I remember the olden VS having the logos 4 engines 4 long haul .. now they are quitely going twin engines for long haul !!!

                              In reality, A346 isn't that uneconomical. Say, for UL, they have sufficient load factors, they could wet- or dry-lease an A346 to fly CMB-LHR or EWR/YVR or so .. if they are keen.

                              TAM is very happy with the 345s, came at a low lease rate and is able to fill the niche non-stop to FRA

                              Saw the following, re: numbers of 345 vs 772L .. not accurate, but you get the idea .. and that is based on the 345/346 non HGW versions .. the HGW versions burn lesser fuel ...

                              From what I can gather the 345 burns 10%+ more fuel than a 77L. that means on a run like TAM's to FRA they are probably burning <10,000 litres more fuel than a 77L each way. At a buck a litre, that's $10,000 a day in extra fuel cost, or $40 per seat penalty each way.

                              Another way to lookat it is that it cost over $3 million more per year to fly this plane. If you can lease it for say $3 million less than a 77L it makes financial sense.

                                CMB is currently becoming a hot-spot for surprise visitors! Is this A320 or A321. My guess would be it is Donbass Aero - http://www.planespotters.net/Aviatio...show?id=315304. When was this photo taken? What time?
