Topic pretty much says it all; Do Singapore Airlines and Emirates still have in service their lone A310s? If so, on what routes and are they scheduled to be retired anytime soon?

Three more A310 are in conversion to 39 tonnes freighters.

Whay do they have just one A310 pax? Is it their smallest aircraft in terms of seats? It seems strange that they have just one jetting around the Arabian peninsula, especially because they have all those A330s they could use...

I do not why but I supose that this aircraft flies to these cities as a supplement of the A330 that normally flies these routes.

I have flown on A6-EKL from Dubai to Doha on a visa run. Nice bird, it is very well maintained.
