Classic!!!!!

It might be surprising but 2 of the top longest non-stop flights are currently operated by A380 . Doha-Aukland Qatar A380 Sydney-Dallas Qantas A380

Planespotters.net lists 17 A380's in service with the latest delivered being 9V-SKT in 2012.

Just for you MrMango the Singapore fleet list is here, including historical ones... https://www.planespotters.net/airline/Singapore-Airlines The current average age is 7.8 years,.... and notice the 747's are listed in the historical list, along with the 2 oldest A380's which are now in storage. That list on "google" that you have quoted is incorrect, don't believe everything that google tells you!!! As for being called an asshole..... Yep, I've been called that before a few times, so your not the first!!!

You really are stupid Mr Magoo.... they are being retired because they are coming to the end of their lease period, nobody is saying it's because they're old!!! As for your argument with regards to the age of the 747's, well they are long gone....... it's obvious you didn't bother to check before posting about their 747's

Their A330's are leased and are currently being replaced by A359's which they are purchasing, not leasing.... 787-10's will also joining their fleet.... The oldest aircraft in their fleet will be the 777's, and some of those are being replaced by A350's...

If you're trying to argue a point at least do some research before posting.... you missed out their A330 and A350, yet include 747 which have all left the Singapore fleet The current fleet age is 7.7 years..... The first five A380 they received are leased, the remainder actually belong to SIA. Those 5 have come to the end of their lease and are being replaced.... So Mr Magoo.... your argument has been destroyed...... nice try!!!

As it stands, 2 Singapore A380 are currently stored 9V-SKA and 9V-SKB, (MSN 3 &5)..... these 2 will likely end up with Hi-Fly who apparently have already got work for them under contract... Singapore will soon start taking delivery of the replacements.

But they aren't scrapping it, it's come to the end of it's lease, and like I posted previously Hi-Fly look like taking them on. They are also early build ones and they are getting replaced by new build. Didn't Boeing have problems with the early build Nightmareliners??? They've only just managed to deliver the last of the terrible teens... years after they were built

I'll stick to street food carts...

Apparently Hi-Fly will be taking a couple of the SQ A380's that are being retired... it's starting to look like there could be a market for used A380's Interesting to note that the number of A380's flying now exceeds the number of Passenger 747's flying...

Just biding my time.... I've already set a date on which I'm going to retire if the expected job cuts don't happen, but the job cuts will happen and it's just a matter of when. They've already stated 3000 roles will be lost, probably starting in about 2 years time.... I'm busy banking credit time as well, each extra shift I work now is one shift less at the end. With carry-over leave added to that total I'm already finishing 2 months earlier than my target date.

Ahhh, but I wasn't a console watcher...... My job was to fix them, and keep them running, a few times got called out in the middle of the night due to fix faults on them....

Well, Westinghouse did use some old technology LOL!!!!...... The stuff we got from you lot was already out of date by the time it was commissioned!!!! DEC PDP11/34s and RL02s.... now them were the days!!! No wonder all this new fangled stuff has you baffled!!!

What???? There's a beach in Pattaya!!! In 12 years of visiting Pattaya I've never gone onto the beach.....much more fun things to do.... :lol:

Just read it, quite an interesting read.... Since my twenties I've lived by the philosophy of just enjoying each day as it comes as you never know when I'll die, although as I am now getting closer to retirement I've been manoeuvring towards ensuring I'll be able to survive financially that period of my life... I want to be able to enjoy retirement and that's what I'm going to do!!!

I've booked my last 2 trips using skyscanner, ensuring cookies etc have been cleared before making the actual booking.... first one was with netflights and the second one traveltrolley....

Try the Qatar Nightmareliner back in cattle class..... it's not so comfly!!!!

The proper name being the Nightmareliner!!!!

LOL!!!

Pattaya is more like Blackpool!!!!

1 year to the day since they were in the same position......

I can survive a flight without the internet so I wouldn't waste money on it...... Edit.... After clicking the link and reading the comments it's looks like there's a lot of unhappy customers!!!

That engine is in a bit of a mess!!!

Yep, I'm a sinner!!!! Surprised they haven't brought in a "Sin Tax" on pussy!!!
