The plane had been due to serve flight SQ890, scheduled to depart for Hong Kong from Singapore鈥檚 Changi Airport at 7:35am. It had arrived from Shanghai鈥檚 Pudong International Airport in the early hours of the morning.
Another plane was used for the flight to Hong Kong, taking off more than 40 minutes after the scheduled departure time.
