Singapore SQ321

Does anyone know why SQ has substituted a B777 the past 10 days for the trip LHR to Singapore,which is normally flown by the A380? Is this a permanent change?

I certainly do not know but the fact that it has been for 10 days indicates it's not one off. The candidates are:
  • Planned maintenance of usual equipment
  • Planned change of equipment due to seasonal variation
  • Unexpected maintenance
  • Unexpected load changes
The first two are the highest liklihood, the others would not normally pertain for such a period.

SQ have gone from 3 A380s to 3 A380s + 1 B77W in recent months. They haven't quite settled which flight gets which equipment as it's been in flux recently.
