What's the next 747 to go and when?

[9V-SPL]

Here is N417AC still in SIN on the 12th of April.

9V-SMU is in Israel, looking all sad.

I had big wishes that SMU would live in passenger configuration somewhere. I guess it is evidence that the 747-400 (even the thousandth 747) is no longer wanted in what was once it's own demain.

Just to confirm, the number of 744s still in fleet is still 7?

Yes, but according to ACARS, SPM has been inactive since April 17. Unsure what the status of her is. Maybe she's under maintenance.

I know that SPA, SPE & SPM were set for PTF a couple of years ago. The program was delayed and now SPA is undergoing PTF. SPE or SPM should be next. Can anyone confirm?

In the year to March 2012, the Company expects to take delivery of eight A380-800s and decommission five B777s and all seven B747-400s.

Looks like SPM shall remain the only 744 in the current fleet that I haven't been on. Anyone knows her future?

SPE too.

Have we seen the last HKG-SIN flight operated by the 744?
