The European Aviation Safety Agency has issued a directive requiring precautionary checks on brackets within the wings of certain Airbus A380 aircraft. We are liaising closely with Airbus and are carrying out inspections in full compliance with the directive.
As checks are being carried out, some flights normally operated by A380s will be temporarily operated by other aircraft. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Affected flights at this stage will include SQ346 from Singapore to Zurich and SQ345 from Zurich to Singapore, on 24 January, 25 January and 26 January. Flights over these three days will be operated with Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. There is no change to scheduled departure and arrival times.
Singapore Airlines will waive administrative fees/penalties for refund, rebooking or re-routing, for customers holding confirmed tickets issued on or before 21 January 2012, for travel on SQ346/345 from 24January 2012 to 27 January 2012, both dates inclusive. This also applies to KrisFlyer redemption tickets.
The safety of our customers and crew is our number one priority and we will ensure that we take whatever action is needed for the continued safe operation of our Airbus A380 fleet.
