A strange article. In regards to the possible customer base, this article looks only at the current customers and the situation today. I would say it would be quite hard to predict, that no other airline than Singapore will see a need for an A350ULR in at least the next twenty years. |

I would say it would be quite hard to predict, that no other airline than Singapore will see a need for an A350ULR in at least the next twenty years. One should always be cautious about the future. In this case, a future MTOW increase, and/or an engine PIP, might open more market opportunities. At least, the author should have mentioned Qantas' ULR projects. Even though QF recently said the only Airbus aircraft remaining in the race was the A35K, the A359 ULR (or some other A359 variant) might eventually turn out to be the better fit. |

Does anyone know if there are different rules governing pilot numbers with these extended flights please? The special rule is that the pilot / co pilot pair that can do take offs and landings do those parts of the flight, and the other pair take over for 9 hours cruising 😉 |

If true I am stunned ! |

I think the main reason behind is trying to balance the number of takeoff and landing perform by each pilot |
