Then will get new coat of paint

Lease on SKA won't be renewed.

The lease on the first A380 jet “expires in October next year and we have decided not to extend it. Decisions will be made on the four others later,” a Singapore Airlines spokesman told The Wall Street Journal.

“We are confident in the market for secondhand A380s, which can be leased or acquired at attractive rates. This will offer a great opportunity for new entrants with new business models to start operating the A380,” a company spokesman said by email.
