A few weeks ago I wrote about Singapore Airlines bringing the A350 back to Melbourne, well the airline has just scheduled the A350 to now operate daily into Melbourne instead of 3 times weekly.
Per routesonline.com
From 12MAY17, SQ207/208 service will be operated by Airbus A350-900XWB on daily basis, instead of 3 weekly A350 and 4 weekly 777-200ER.
This is great news for passengers, The A350 is a brilliant aircraft to fly on and I thoroughly enjoyed my flight on Singapore Airlines’s aircraft a few months ago.
