With 453 customers on board the 471-seat double-decker aircraft, SQ227 departed Singapore at 2100hrs and arrived in Melbourne at around 0545hrs this morning, 25 minutes ahead of schedule. The A380 will embark on its return journey with over 450 customers on board, departing Melbourne at 1550hrs and touching down in Singapore at 2140hrs.
Melbourne is the second Australian city and sixth city in Singapore Airlines’ network to receive the A380. Singapore Airlines currently operates 21 weekly flights between Singapore and Melbourne, including the daily A380 service.
“The A380 continues to be extremely popular with our customers, as we see very positive booking response for our scheduled A380 services between Singapore and Melbourne. Since the start of its operation in October 2007, the A380 has carried more than 1.8 million customers on more than 4600 commercial flights. Our A380 customers tremendously enjoy the quiet cabin ambience, our innovative inflight products and gracious service delivered by our cabin crew. On routes with multiple daily frequencies operated with different aircraft, many of our customers will specifically choose the service that is operated by this clean and green superjumbo,” said Mr. Huang Cheng Eng, Singapore Airlines’ Executive Vice President, Marketing and the Regions. |

Singapore Airlines flew 3.9 million passengers last quarter, 18% fewer than a year earlier.
"Advance bookings indicate that the drop in demand for air travel is leveling out," the company said. "However, the probability of a sustained recovery has been set back by uncertainties arising from the Influenza A epidemic."
