The 345s (in every fleet that they were placed) had a low (sub 95) reliability, had lower than promised pax loads and much lower than expected cargo loads. Every operator is losing money on this aircraft. SQ is supposedly so unhappy that they are in active talks with Boeing to trade/sell their entire ULR Airbus fleet and replace it with the 777-200LR.
