As you can imagine, 1% improvement is a lot of fuel saved.

The aircraft at SQ are overweight and its not the engines causing the problem.

There is something wrong with that 747-8 in storage. It was meant for LH at first but they rejected it and wouldn't take delivery. Its even got the basic LH colours.
