It’s been a rather rapid march for the first Airbus A350-900URL (Ultra Long Range) for Singapore Airlines.
Only a few months ago, it was flying in its base-coat.
Now, the Singapore Airlines livery adorns the aircraft as it continues testing before being delivered to the airline.

This type of aircraft will be used by the airline to re-introduce the direct Singapore to Newark (New York) flight, as well as introduce direct services from Singapore to Los Angles and San Francisco.
The first aircraft has been used to complete the flight test programme – which focused on the re-designed fuel system.
With the flight tests concluded, the cabin of the aircraft is being fitted to make the plane comfortable for passengers.
This is the first of seven A350-900ULR aircraft for Singapore Airlines. The airline has orders for 67 frames in total, with 21 Airbus A350-900s delivered already.
