With the arrival in service of new aircraft, such as the A340-500, a new set of recommendations was drawn up to cover those specific operations that are called Ultra Long Range flights (ULR). This has been undertaken in response to the request of Singapore Airlines (SIA) but since then other operators are seeking support in this matter.
For SIA this corresponds to an adaptation of the long-range flights recommendations presented in this issue to the very first ULR flights launched by SIA between Singapore and Los Angeles (SIN-LAX) in February 2004 as well as to the Singapore- New York route (SIN-JFK) being launched in June 2004. These recommendations are provisional and were drawn with the best state of knowledge available in the absence of prior experience with these types of ULR flights. In due time we will therefore develop proper operational evaluations and validations.
