Singapore Cargo Rumours (early 2010)
PPRuNe is a great forum for news and rumours,, no harm in a pure rumour/speculation thread.
We can all throw ideas against the wall and see what sticks.
For purposes of this thread, let's confine ourselves to the Cargo side only. And it would be infinatly more interesting if we label what is KNOWN,, what is HEARD,, and what is SURMISED. This should be fun !!!!
I'll start:
KNOWN: SFL is moving out of the desert (VCV) to rejoin the flock, after a long rest. She should arrive SIN about Jan 24.
HEARD: SFA and SFB are supposed to go "back to thier owners", and soon. Who are the "owners"?
HEARD: SFF and SFN are also in play.
HEARD: SFA and SFB are going to the little sister airline who is PVG based,, no saying how great that wall may be.....
HEARD: A US based bottom feeder is convinced that they are getting 2 SQC -400's.
HEARD: SQC is no longer terminating all contracts with ex-pat capts.
HEARD: The mainline pax -400 (SML??) slated for BCF conversion is still on hold.
SURMISE: Known recovery of 1 aircraft against the loss of 2-4 aircraft, SQ is squeezing SQC even more than in the past.
SURMISE: SQ's thinking is along the same line as DL's in that they are not going to deal with cargo. But it's easier to park 7 classics than to sell a fleet of -400's.
KNOWN: Ths industry is so fluid it's like an amusement ride,, only not amusing.
Let's have some fun with this,,
Cheers,, Heracles
