SQ B777 withdrawal thread

[Nick C]

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

Welcome back!



Anyone knows what it is doing back here?

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?

[SilverChris]

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

There are four more A330-300s to be delivered this year. Then no more new aircraft (except eight WhaleJets to replace the remaining seven JumboJets) until the 787-9s start arriving in 2013.

sealalula perhaps you should at least cite where this came from.

Agreed. Looks verrry clean to me for a plane which just spent some time at VCV. I would expect the paint to have faded a bit, as it does on other aircraft which sit out in the sun.

I believe that wsssaero is refering to whom/where the picture was extracted and give due credit to the photographer/site as opposed to where the aircraft was from.

The picture paints it in a very nice light. I just saw her 20 minutes ago in the flesh near the south cross where she's parked.. looks in not very good shape,

Indeed, and as I have a good idea as to where that photo has come from I look forward to sealalula confirming they have permission to use it.
