SQ366 to Rome changed to a really strange time? Ideas why?

Hi All,

SQ366 from SIN to FCO has changed "for today only" to depart at 03:25, arriving in Rome at 09:30. Any ideas why?

Strange that it's today only and that it now arrives too late for business meetings in the morning. The flight every other day is 01:10-07:15, like most other European flights, making the connection at Singapore easy and arrival time perfect to go straight to work.

This change was made several days ago (not a last minute sub) and for today's date only.

Thoughts?

I assume the pope's visit to Manila, with restrictions on operations at MNL, meaning rescheduling of last Manila flight to reach SIN at 02:35? Plane must then go on to operate the flight to Rome. I am guessing that Rome has least business traffic of all of SQ's Europe routes. More info here.

I originally thought it could be that, but the aircraft for Rome will be 9VSVI which came from Mumbai. The re-scheduled aircraft coming from Manila will be used on SQ176 for Hanoi.

Maybe because of a general strike in Italy (ATC on strike too) on January 16th between 1PM and 5PM (local time).
