Speeedy,
Why is it then that SQ do not want the A340 in their fleet long term.
They have clearly stated that they will only be operating the B777 and A380.
I'm sure that if the A340 was a good and proven aircraft then SQ would be keeping it.
But then again who knows, the A340 and B744 pax aircraft may be around for alot longer if the A380 doesnt become a success or lacks performance.
