Singapore A340's

Hi all

Wonder if anyone could shed any light into what will happen with Singapores A340's come the end of the year once they've stopped using them.

Thanks

Shame ! I did my longest non stop with one from Singapore to Newark and was very pleased with A/C and service but it is a very , very long flight. They are not as comfortable as 777 but they look good in my eyes and would suspect that they would make good a/c for heads of state with their range if not going to other airlines, are you listening Mr Cameron ?.

Probably go to the RAF for troop carrying to replace aging TriStars?!

RAF Trooping, I hope that no MOD "bean-counter" spots that gem of a thought. Could be a cheap way of getting a VIP aircraft? Preferably a -500.
