    9V-STU will become 9H-HFC
    9V-STZ will become 9H-HFE
    9V-SSB will become 9H-HFF

    HiFly has uploaded their LOPA on their website:
    https://www.hifly.aero/fleet/a330/9h-hfc/
    https://www.hifly.aero/fleet/a330/9h-hfe/
    https://www.hifly.aero/fleet/a330/9h-hff/

    Now SQ A330 fleet is down to last 10, with one 9V-SSA in storage now.

    Peaked at 34, out of 24 which have retired, only following are now orphaned:
    MSN 1157 9V-STS
    MSN 1447 9V-STW
    Just had a look at the links. Have those dividers in J always been there? I have flown the A330 J on a handful of occasions but can't recall seeing them before.

      Yep! Very few people extend them though, even when sitting next to someone they don't know. Maybe it's too well hidden.

          I don't think either of those two are orphans -- at least not with respect to SQ: STS went to Trans-Asia as B-22103, and STW has gone to Seraph Aviation as OE-IED.

          9V-STQ might qualify as an SQ orphan. I don't see her as having a new home yet.

            Orphaned as in they have no current operators anymore. TransAsia collapsed and HX took over however it was not taken up after fully painted. As for 9V-STW she was supposed to go to AirAsia X after Seraph bought her over, but the deal did not proceed.

            9V-STQ is going to Air Canada. It was undergone air test two weeks ago at SIN. https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9534197

              I suppose then, that 9V-STP would also qualify as an orphan -- IIRC, she also went to TransAsia...no? Or did she find a new home after they quit?

                9V-STQ looks stunning in her new livery.

                  9V-STP joined Hong Kong Airlines (HX) as B-LHD after leaving TransAsia. She was supposed to join HX together with 9V-STQ which was supposed to become B-LHE. But HX decided to reject the lease and since then it has been in storage. Now stored at Naples, Italy. Previously at Clark Manila, then Singapore, moved onto Lourdes, France.

                  Here is her in full HX livery but sadly no one wants her........https://www.flickr.com/photos/citationten/41341989602

                  • Seems like 9V-SSA has been withdrawn.

                      Last revenue flight was 2 November. See posts 242 and 243 from 16 November.

                      • 9V-STY is now HiFly Malta 9H-TAJ. LOPA has been uploaded in their website: https://www.hifly.aero/public/upload...Fly_9H-TAJ.pdf

                        SQ cabin configuration remains.

                          She is now painted in an unknown livery.

                          • Former 9v-stj in incident

                            Irrelevant to SQ but sharing
                            Former 9v-stj started a new life with Turkish and had an incident on the very first https://simpleflying.com/turkish-airlines-a330-damage/
                            The new registration was TC-LOL
                            I suppose there is some truth to SQ being superstitious about the aircraft registrations

                              Before that it was with WOW Air as TF-GAY....Not sure if it is tongue in cheek.

                              On more serious note, TC-LOL was damaged in her first int'l service with TK. Not a good start to her TK career.

                              There is rumour TK will be adding more A330-343E. Won't be surprised if those will be ex-SQ, if the rumour is true.
