SQ B777 withdrawal thread

[JonLee]

Nope...
It seems ex- 9V-SRI is now N777UK, with its new owner being Access Industries. As per the link below, the bird was ferried SIN-ANC today.

Then again Scoot is announcing another destination, which is almost impossible unless they add planes to their fleet or cut destinations (which have yet to be announced, if ever). Could another B772 with derated engines go over to TZ?

That would probably be SQF, given that the new 77Ws are arriving soon

Did you look at the previous page of this thread?

Scoot already have 5 ex-SQ 772s derated and do not think they need another one as their first of their 20 B787s will be delivered next year. In fact believed Scoot will delay most of their 787s deliveries over a few years as it is not easy or fast enough for Scoot to grow its network so fast.

Says who? You might want to consult your crystal ball again as it might be a bit faulty. I guess that ball of yours also predicted the launch of the Hong Kong route.

It wasn't too long ago that these orders were converted to Scoot, seems a bit early for the airline to start delaying deliveries, no? Just yesterday the airline's CEO was on Bloomberg stating that the airline was on track to receive many 787 deliveries in 2015 and the first aircraft is on schedule for delivery November 2014.

Yes but the image you posted doesn't have a painted tail. Might be a clue as to where it is going.

What am I missing here?

[FN-GM]

The tail and a little stripe on the body under the tail is grey on Carfield's image. Your image its all white.

It's confirmed by the South China Morning Post. SCMP reports that Scoot is to take delivery of a sixth B772 for their new HKG flights.

Now, is that sixth B772 also coming from SQ?


All along, I presumed Scoot would suffice with five B772s till the arrival of their B787-8s and B787-9s. I guess there must have had been a change in the business plan on their short-term fleet planning.
