If CX buys the A380, I imagine they'd use it on YVR-HKG.
What does SQ fly into YVR now? If it's a 744, the A380 could be an eventual possibility/probability.

SQ now fly a B777-200ER into YVR 3x weekly. I've been on that flight and loads were good, but I don't see it as a candidate for upgauging to a B777-300ER let alone a WhaleJet. If SQ operate the WhaleJet to north america, NRT-LAX seems more likely.

YVR is right now on a big international terminal expantion. It will feature a large aquarium and nine more gates. Two gates D64 and D65 will be 380 capable. Four of the new gates will have double airbridge.

Remember, SQ would love to fly more to YVR and YYZ as well....But there's no bilateral agreement between Canada and Singapore currently....Until that is all cleared up, you won't see SQ fly more than the 3x weekly into YVR

Quoting Jacobin777 (Reply 13): Didn't AF say they will fly The A380 to YVR?
No, I am pretty sure that is YUL. YVR doesn't see any AF or any French service (except for occasional Zoom charters).
Quoting Yegbey01 (Reply 10): CX, EVA, China Airlines, Korean and JAL
Sorry, I don't want to sound like an a$$hole but KE doesn't fly their B744 into YVR anymore. LH might be a possible candidate because they say that their cargo loads into YVR are good, if the A380 can carry a lot more cargo than the A346

That's a shame becasue it can't. It has less volume than the A346. I'm sure an A380 will end up there at some point so keep your eye out on a.net for an unscheduled nip down to the airport. But I doubt there will be a regular schedule for at least the first 5 years.

That seems unlikely for two reasons:
1) SQ are not expected to order additional A340-500s as SIN-LAX and SIN-EWR nonstops are reportedly not profitable at current fuel prices, and
2) Much of SQ's YVR traffic is between ICN and YVR rather than between SIN and YVR.

That may be, but according to an article in The Province a couple of weeks ago, SQ stated that they are pushing for a change in Canada's bi-latteral agreement with Singapore as SQ would like to start non-stop service between SIN and YVR with the A345 as early as next year.

Interesting. I know SQ would like for Singapore and Canada to conclude a bilateral. To start A340-500 service to YVR would require either acquiring more ULH aircraft or giving up nonstop service to LAX or EWR.

Thats what was printed. And with SQ bypassing ICN, perhaps KE will up capacity to YVR as well. Wait and see what happens.

25 BA84: Zoom has one flight a week to CDG, scheduled service, not charter. There are Corsair charters, but all tickets are sold in France.
26 DYK: In economy this is the case but SQ does very good on YVR-SIN for business class.
27 RJ111: Could it be done with a 777 at a stretch?
28 Robsawatsky: You can see a rendition of the two "big" gates at YVR here: http://www.yvr.ca/pdf/authority/Building_Gateway_Jan06.pdf
29 Zvezda: SIN-YVR is no problem for a B777-200ER, however, YVR-SIN would need to either go out very light or make a stop. Of course, the route is easy for a B7
30 MotorHussy: Well what's happening to AC's A345's? And being Star Alliance partners, wouldn't AC and SQ operate this as a codeshare (hypothetically speaking of co
31 YVRlonghauler: Someone speculated in a similar thread before that we could see the A380 on a regular basis once Kingfisher starts getting their birds. I wouldn't be
32 RayChuang: I think the ONLY airline likely to fly the A388 to YVR is Cathay Pacific if CX does order the plane; it will be used on the non-stop route between HKG
33 Zvezda: Do LH even operate Jumbos to YVR? I wouldn't call YVR a likey WhaleJet destination even if CX were to order some, but if CX were to order more than a
34 MCIGuy: I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see them there for the Olympic Winter Games in 2010.
35 Zvezda: That's the most plausible idea I've seen yet in this thread. It's easy to imagine AF and LH running WhaleJets to YVR temporarily for the Olympics. EK
36 YVRlonghauler: They started sending daily A346s this summer. They were flying 744s before that.
37 Zvezda: Like most places, the trend is toward smaller airliners.
