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.
