Was following the progress of 345, and if it is such a fuel guzzler, wonder why EK and SQ are flying them (though the latter has switched to C Class only)
It is all about fitting the right aircraft to the right schedule. Or making the route profitable enough to cover costs and make money.
TG supposedly struggled as their schedules and connections didn't fit properly.
SQ got the formula right, and this is an airline that dumps aircraft if they don't make money. And I dont remember SQ flying routes for prestige sake, unlike some state owned carriers, which fly to Sahara due to political reasons ..
