What Hype is tracking

Singapore Airlines flagged a sharp profit decline earlier this year — half‑year net profit fell to S$239m — making any delivery slippage a material factor for near‑term fleet and capital plans: https://hype.aero/?story=30a8ba6a-4617-408c-8768-7ba12dd06325
The comment comes against a backdrop of broader 777X programme delays that have already forced airlines to rework fleet timelines and absorb billions in potential charges: https://hype.aero/?story=4aba5eb6-14d7-4b19-a99f-4ed8ccf21e0c
Regulators have recently advanced the 777X test programme into Phase‑13 flight testing, a step forward that nonetheless leaves substantial certification work remaining: https://hype.aero/?story=52588dd7-49c8-439b-ae0a-0a673c2c36fe
