With the amount of metal that AC deadheads to/from SIN it seems crazy that this can't be scheduled more efficiently and be be performed as revenue flights.
Surely if the authorities at SIN or more specifically, Paya Lebar want to keep Air Canada's maintenance business a way can be found to allow occasional scheduled flights. YVR-SIN is definitely in range for the 777s and probably also 788s/9s.
More recently the Oct 1 AC13 YYZ-NRT continued down to SIN after offloading at NRT!
