Perhaps. Though I'd say the fact that the 772NGs weren't launched until nearly two years after SQ placed its A345 order might have a little more to do with it

I do hope SQ cancel the A345s, and replace them with 777LRs similar to that it did with the A343s. SQ should have leverage since it has the A380s on order.
I am not sure how the interior is configured in the A345, hopefully it is not like the A343. Based on my long-haul experience in F, C and Y on the A343s in LH and SQ, Airbus did a lousy job with the interior design. Is it just me... does anyone feel the A340/A330s have low ceilings? On those long hauls, one can really feel being trapped in a tunnel.
