For me, I love flying the A345. Any disagreement here?

For the airlines, I think they have struggled to make money with flying it.

Don't forget that when SQ bought the A345, the 77L was not yet available.

Would things have been different if SQ had launched the ULH flights with the 77L? I don't know. Maybe there are experts here that can give an opinion.
they could carry freight and passengers, and burn less gas. The 5 A345's are costing SQ a lot of money. OUCH.
