official release;
Australian, Japanese Cities To Be First For New A330 Operations30 December 2008
Singapore Airlines will introduce its new Airbus A330-300 regional aircraft on routes to Australian and Japanese cities, progressively from end March 2009.
The first of 19 new A330-300s will be delivered to Singapore Airlines by Airbus in mid-January. Initially, the aircraft will be used to complete pilot conversion, and thereafter, operate some short sectors between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore and Jakarta, during late February and March.
Its full entry into commercial service will occur on 30 March 2009, and to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the commencement of Singapore Airlines flights between the two cities, the first route will be between Singapore and Brisbane.
From April, services between Singapore and Perth will be progressively converted from the existing B777 operations to A330; conversion will be completed in May. The daily flight between Adelaide and Singapore will be converted by June.
Also in June, following delivery of the eighth aircraft, the A330 will debut on Japan routes, with the daily service to Nagoya to be converted from B777 operations. By March 2010, the daily B777 service to Osaka will be replaced with the A330.
The A330-300 twin-engine wide-body aircraft will be configured with 285 seats in two classes – Business and Economy. A new Business Class seat, especially designed for regional and medium-haul flights, as well as other cabin product features, will be unveiled when the aircraft is delivered in January.
The Business Class cabin will consist of 30 seats, in a 2-2-2 configuration (distinct from the existing B777 on these routes, which is in a 2-3-2 layout). Economy will feature 255 seats, in a 2-4-2 configuration. All seats will feature the new KrisWorld, Singapore Airlines award-winning inflight entertainment system. -

Pitot, I reckon it's because u are so informed & learned about aviation. That's why he agreed to be part of mod team . He sends his regards.

Yes crew conversion from A345. But also new crew train for A333. I tried the first flight SIN-KUL-SIN on J class(Biz). Quite good. Seats like the Mercedes leather. I like...

Yup. Please move it to the Global Civil Aviation forum. Would be much appreciated.

I don't know if this site is dormant but either way, I don't think it's fair to Pitot n rest of the moderators here if I do that, esp IF you guys are from another " camp"... but I will post stuff of aviation interest n facts to any aviation forum that welcome my input.
Thank u.

I hope all aviation fans can congregate in one forum(mine or otherwise), but it seems the aviation group in SG is quite quiet~...
