According to Flightglobal and ALC/Udvar-Hazy, range has been increased to 7.100 nm Interesting. They will have more fuel efficient, more capabilities & extra range as well. I'm guessing some airlines who will eventually to orders the 787-10X. Let the speculation begin.

The question is will these aircraft end up with Scoot or their parent carrier. Earlier this year (or late last year) Singapore Airlines transferred their 20 789s to Scoot and I remember Campbell Willson (CEO) being reported to say that they are interested in either converting or ordering the 787-800 and 787-10.
By the time the 787-10s are delivered (2018-2019) Singapore Airlines should have phased out their 772, some of the A330 fleet and introduced the A359. With 70 A350s on order, the A350 fleet is certainly large enough to replace the airline's 772 and A333 fleet. If the aircraft are taken up by SQ, I think that the 787-10 will be great on routes to Australia and within Asia with the A350s being more suited for routes to Europe and the States (with a stop in Asia).

This is what I was wondering about too. I had the impression that Scoot will take up the 787s while Singapore the A350s because it would be easier to standardise their products around the cabin widths, the wider one suited for the higher paying customers.

Maybe the added size of the 787-10 will enable SQ to operate the aircraft at 8 abreast with adequate efficiency and seat capacity. (fingers crossed, please, I want more 8 abreast 787s)
