SQ not superstitous about specia liveries anymore
I thought SQ was superstitious about special liveries ever since SQ006, which was in the tropical livery, as they have not had any since, even Star Alliance special liveries. However, I noticed that they recently introduced a special livery to honor the 50th anniversary of Singapore. Are they over their superstition?

I think the changes have to do with the change of CEOs. There weren't any special liveries post SQ006, under the previous CEO, which changed shortly after the new CEO came in with painting SQ planes in various *A liveries which is quite unprecedented, given that they've never painted any on any one plane in the previous decade.
