SQ had 5 x A340-500 a/c. 9V-SGD is now operating with the Las Vegas Sands Group. Airbus are stuck with the other 4 a/c which are parked at Lourdes. SQ also operated a short sector SIN-JKT daily with the A340-500 for crew proficiency purposes. Airbus has dropped a bundle of $$$ with the A340-500. There are some new a/c available from Airbus that have never had an owner. E.g Built in 2008 with just 47 flight hours and a small number of cycles.
