This is a smart move...... just stick the Star logo at the tail, Small SQ logo and "STAR ALLIANCE", could be done in a few hours!
And even better, should the next lessee is a Star Alliance member, they can simply peel off the Singapore Airlines Logo sticker and stick their own airline logo on it!
Based on figures just released, by 31 March 2020 the A330 fleet will reduce from 17 to 8. It is a little confusing since it appears they will withdraw 10, but they have also reinstated STU since end of last FY, so:
Here is FJSZ's excellent listing on the last day of the previous FY showing us the remaining 17
In Service: 17
Seating: 30J/255Y (Regional J, 2006 Y)
But we're going to be left with 8. It might well be SSB-I or SSC-I plus one older one, depending on when exactly SSB might be timed to leave. If all of the second order are on 6 year leases, SSA will definitely be out of the fleet before the end of the 19/20 FY.
9V-STU lease has been extended 3 months due to the groundings of the Max and 787s engine issues. It was supposed to fly tonight 7 Apr 19 as one of the Scoot charter flight to Perth but it is currently grounded as they do not have approval from the relevant authorities/agencies.

Just wondering when 9V-STU will leave service. Any ideas?

We heard its lease was extended by 3 months, so it should leave this month in theory (Jul 19). These agreements can be further extended though, especially if (as it seems) the lessor still does not have an onward customer for the aircraft.
9V-STR just ferried from SIN-QPG as SQ8893 this afternoon.
Interesting, one of the remaining original order. Leaves us with just STC & STQ.
Would anyone know if all of the second order are 6 year leases and are likely to leave in the same order, or could there be some 5 year leases toward the tail end?

Well, FWIW, 9V-SWY has also stopped flying. It's also one of the A333s being brokered for re-lease.
