[Bitterroot]

Any idea what happened to HS-XBB?

Not used -- at least not yet.

Any idea what happened to HS-XBB?

Might not be delivered in order. For Scoot 9V-OTC was delivered before 9V-OTA & 9V-OTB

Is 9V-SQI officially out of the SQ fleet? Which aircraft is next in line for retirement?

Someone here sighted it painted white, so it's in the process of being removed.

My tip for next to go is SRJ. It's been out of use for almost a fortnight now I think.

[Bitterroot]

Neither SRJ nor SVK have seen any recent use.

How many SQ* and SR* planes remain in the fleet at this point?

Yes, I was noticing the exact same thing. I think SRJ has been on the ground for more than 2 weeks. There's another A330 arriving (SSF) that won't be too far off and planespotters is now showing two more 77WN.

How many SQ* and SR* planes remain in the fleet at this point?

Of the refitted SQ* and SR* there are now ten: SQJ-N and SRM-Q. This is down by one with SQI being withdrawn about a month ago.

Of the old purple cabin type, there are now only two that appear to be left in service: SRK & SRL.

The title of oldest plane in service goes to 9V-SVB at 13.6 years, and given they refitted it and have no real replacement for the 772ER fleet lined up in the near future, it's likely to hold that title for some time.

9V-SVB (along with 5 other planes) is the plane that was leased to Royal Brunei Airlines, and then returned back to SIA?

The A350 deliveries start this year. Plus with more 777-300ER on the way they won't be here that much longer.

Any idea when the first A350 is arriving?

Yes it was previously leased to RBA and returned to SQ on 1 Aug 2012

Any idea when the first A350 is arriving?

Probably FY 2016/17.

[FN-GM]

Probably FY 2016/17.
