HiFly has uploaded their LOPA on their website:

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

Originally posted by Bitterroot View PostI 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 is going to Air Canada. It was undergone air test two weeks ago at SIN. https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9534197

Originally posted by Bitterroot View PostI 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?
Here is her in full HX livery but sadly no one wants her........https://www.flickr.com/photos/citationten/41341989602

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

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.
