SQ A330 Withdrawal Thread

With the departure of 9V-SSI, the Airbus A330-300 has been successfully withdrawn from Singapore Airlines, completing a process that first commenced in 2015 with the withdrawal of the first frame 9V-STJ. To remember this SQ workhorse, here is a photo album of all 34 of SQ Airbus A330-300s.

Farewell, SQ A330!

Yes all the A330s are gone for good

Farewell A330-300, 2009 - 2021. You deserve a much more dignified exit.

Yes all the A330s are gone for good

Actually I got quite sick of being on a SIA A330. So this is actually the moment I am waiting.

But looks like I need to wait way longer since A330 routes have not been fully reinstated. Was often on SIN-SUB, SIN-KIX, SIN-CAN.

I think that's the last A330 isn't it?

9V-SSI

9V-SSI went for airtest today as SQ8893 and was seen in all white livery.

By the way, is there any other ex SQ A330 still on SIN soil other than 9V-SSI? Thanks in adv.

9V-SSH just departed SIN as SQ8893. Headed west-bound.

Very highly unlikely.
They will just paint the aircraft in white and quietly leave the airport.

Well, 9V-SSC is gone for good.

On side note, 9V-STV which went to Oman Air as A4O-DZ in August 2019, has been flown to France for further storage. It only operated for Oman Air for 6 months before the lease was terminated due to COVID-19.

Oh dear, she sat around a year plus without doing much. Such costly repair will dent its value.

Given the current pandemic condition, would SQ do a farewell ceremony for the A330 fleet? I am kinda optimistic about this.

9V-SSI is scheduled for an air-test tomorrow (12JUL21) as SQ8893.

STD: 1000
STA: 1130

This will be her first movement since being ferried RGN-SIN back in December 2019, following a tail-strike incident there on 25NOV19.
