SQ B777 withdrawal thread

[SilverChris]

Nice to see SQA back but I'm wondering which airline she's destined for next?

[TerryK]

I'm told that 9V-SQA is one of eight derated 777-200ERs to be sold to CX.

Does SQ have 8 spare 772s to be sold? Will that affect SQ schedule?

Anyone know the future holds for -SQA?

Just out of curiosity, are the a/c stored at VCV still on SQ's books, or are they a/c which have been returned to their leasing companies?

Have a look at the FY0910 Annual Report, SQ classifies the fleet as "operating fleet" and not "entire fleet".

So while -SQA is not reflected on the AR, it's still 9V plated according to the CAAS register '

Likewise for the other 2 744s

Still part of the SQ fleet. When planes revert to their lessors, they get a new registration.

SRA is with Biman Bangladesh.

And (therefore) 9V-SRD and 9V-SRE are the other two for Transaero.......
