SQ Cargo Fleet

[FN-GM]

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone knows whats going on with the SQ Cargo fleet? Do they have any plans to replace the 747's? Maybe with the 777F?

Thanks

If I remember correctly SIA Cargo isn't profitable. I think they'll try to wring as much life out of the current fleet as much as they can - with most of the fleet delivered relatively recently (2002-2006) there's plenty of life in those frames. The two oldest frames were delivered in 1997 and 1998 - if the cargo market doesn't really recover those two may be retired without replacement.

Long term if the cargo market stays slow I could see SQ getting out operating cargo planes entirely. Either it goes to belly cargo only or you see a smaller fleet operated by someone like Atlas Air for SIA Cargo, as some other airlines are already doing.
