If you go to the Singapore Aircraft register and compare the latest with the previous month you will see. I didn't bother finding the one but noted figures changed

Yes 9V-SQH has indeed left the SQ mainline fleet. It has been transferred to Scoot as their 5th aircraft, registration 9V-OTE.

Seems like all the SQ series are being transferred to Scoot while SQ keeps the old SR series. Prob the SR series does much better for regional routes due to the amount of Y seats.

Not for any longer. they are the only 2 Unrefurbed SQ series and are prob being transferred to scoot? or maybe sold off

Not sure if they will transfer all the SQ series to Scoot though, as only SQE and SQF are left unrefurbished, the remaining SQ series have been refurbished.

I think they do, however, have a large number of SR series left unrefurbished (I think in fact only about 3 SR series was refurbished), and you may be right in that they may be more quoted for regional routes due to the large number of Y seats.

6 SQ and 5 SR series are refurbished. All of Scoots aircraft are the unrefurbished SQ series, which is SQA-SQH. Only SQE/F are still in the SQ fleet which might be sold to scoot, or might end up getting scrapped like SQG.
SRJ/K/L have the newer Y seats with the AVOD system but they are unrefurbished for some reason. They are the best ones to fly on the regional 777 routes

It looks like 9V-STV is about to be delivered in the coming weeks. Given that A330s are rolling off the production line very quickly, SQ's remaining order of 12 aircraft should be fully delivered by next June (1/month). Correct me if I am wrong

Seen here taking off from Toulouse in SQ livery on 5 June, so should be put in service within next week

Meanwhile, SQ's oldest plane, 9V-SQE seems to have been retired having not flown for 10 days now. That leaves SQF as the oldest at 15.3 years- a full 3 years older than the next contender, 9V-SRF.

9V-STV has been tracked prior to revenue flying.

The days are numbered for 9V-SQF!

And that would mean an end to the old first class recliners

Any idea when SQF will be finally retired ? I cannot stand the bad condition of that plane, when paying the same fare, and getting that plane...
