Will SQ receive new a/c later this year and next year?

The A333s serves the regional routes so I guess they're utilized more than their long haul cousins.

I'll continue my flight to Perth which now shows b777-200, hopefully we see a change of aircraft on that flight.

But the 77W/N has lesser seats than A333 according to seatguru.
77WN: F8J42Y228=278
A333: J30Y255=285
Passengers on NRT bound flights may also have onward flights to US so I'm guessing that is why they use the 77W/A380 as there is an F product. Whereas for KIX, there's no onward connectivity.
That's just my guess.

Except for SIN -- MEL vv, no specific routes have yet been nominated for 77WNs. By the time the last three new-builds arrive, some of the re-fits should also be finished. At some point, new and "old" (2006) frames will go the pool.
