Which Cancellations? SK missing one A340 and A330

Now that one of of SK's A340's is stranded in BKK they seem to be cancelling other intercont flights - probably due to the missing AC.
SK 937 cancelled today.
Any chance of predicting which ones they will cancel the coming week? Nothing on their website on this.
And Im flying to SEA later this week...

Well, they also have an A330 out of service. SE-REF is in TRD Trondheim waiting for a new engine.

So actually 2 aircrafts are out, and then its not strange that we see some cancellations!

wow 2 out of 11 - isn't good
Hope they post cancellations at least a few days - before to allow people to re-schedule. must have major impact on long haul schedule.
Do they prioritise by load or by number of EBGs booked (in my dreams in know)

The 330 stranded in Trondheim has gotten a new engine and is being flown to CPH tomorrow morning and will be back in action

It had a flameout and could not return to normal operation after several restart attempts on it's way ARN-ORD on Thursday hence turned back to TRD for an emergency landing. For those who read Swedish a blog post can be found here from Bosse who was onboard:

Well, it took SAS 4 times longer than what's normal to get the engine changed and to get -REF back in to service .

It now looks like all planes are back in production
