SQ A330 Withdrawal Thread

[leops1984]

Yes, planespotters has listed both STP and STS going to GE, although they are not specifying the B- registrations yet.

STS might be re-registered as B-22104. Would continue the series (22101 and 220102 are the other GE A330s that are new.)

With GE using similar seats to SQ A330s in J and Y, maybe they would just need to change the seat covers?

They're adding seats - 2 J and 13 Y. So it'll need a bit more than a seat cover change.

Looks like STI and STK are the two 330s to leave the fleet this financial year. Both have not seen action in a while, are listed as stored on PlaneSpotters and there are reports of STI going to Brussels Airlines.

STG is also still stored - it has been a while since the accident. I thought the reports were that it was not seriously damaged?

Must have been a lot more damaged than first thought. Nobody seems to know of it being repaired so I wonder what the plans are for its future...

Is 9V-STK still parked at SIN ? This one is believed to have been ferried last night to Bulgaria.

9V-STI (temporarily LZ-AWE) ferried to Bordeaux. It's the one for Brussels Airlines as OO-SFX.

9V-STG has gone for airtest. As mentioned earlier STI and STK have left SQ. What is the next A330 leaving SQ?

Which one became LZ-AWF ferried today to Alice Springs ?

I really hope that a 6 yo plane isn't going to spend long parked in a desert. That would be a terrible waste of resources.

STH has not flown in a while either.

Wow, that means this year will see the departure of a lot of 330s

SQ207/8 was supposed to shift from A330 to B772ER from March 27 but has stuck with an A330 for at least 2 days longer.
