SQ B777 withdrawal thread

[eamond]

Big news on the 9V-SQF withdrawal hopes!

The new PDF timetable is showing all three SIN-CGK flights currently flown usually daily by SQF (SQ950,958,966) as changing to 773 refitted from March 30.

Finally, it looks like there might be an official last day for SQF- March 29. That should make some of you on this thread happy!

Shows up in KVS that, from 13 Feb, SQ950/8/66 will be operated by 773. SQF seems to have its last day on 12 Feb, minus SQ950 (shows up as a 77W operaing on that day)

Hope it helps.

Cheers

Well I'm lucky in that this doesn't actually affect me at all, but some regular visitors to this thread are going to want to hug you for that information!

Sorry to bring us all back down to earth, but it hasn't happened as we hoped today.

SYJ flew SQ950/3 but then headed off to Beijing according to iCargo data. SQF is still in use and flew out as SQ958 and seems likely to also fly SQ966 tonight, according to the same site at this present time.

This checks out on flightradar24 that also lists SQF as having flown SQ 958 today.

Looking over the past week or so, it does appear that SQ950/3 has made the switch to 773 craft, but not SQ958/9 and SQ966/7. The exact same craft-type pattern is also showing as planned for tomorrow on iCargo currently.

Sorry hjerapa...

SQF has't flown today, let's wait for a few more days and see what's happened, today's 958 goes to SYL and 966 goes to SVG (yes 2 class 772ER)

Well surely they must have an oversupply of planes at present. Since July '13 they've added two 77Ws, four A330s and had a 772ER returned to them which is now in service, but only two planes have left the fleet- SRG & SRI. (Obviously I'm disregarding the A340 situation.)

There doesn't seem to be a current member of the 772ER fleet undergoing a refit, so that equals five more planes without much evidence of capacity expansion. There's a bit here and there but nothing major.

hope so !

[SQ228]

hope so !

It's looking good today too- SQ950/3 was flown by 77W, SQ958/9 is listed as having 773 (SYF) assigned. Currently SQ966 is showing on iCargo as a default 772, but no details yet as to which variant or craft.

[SQ228]

OK, looks like it's for real this time.

SQ950/3 and SQ958/9 have been 773 for a week now with a few of the earlier flight being 77W.

SQ966/7 is still 772 but is now receiving what appears to be 772 refitted craft, not the early SR* series.

9V-SQF seems to have been out of action for almost a week!

Yes out for a week. Looks like it's finally retired.
